RE: Checkbox Issue

Andrew,
WinEyes 5.5 announces an 'inactive control' when the page loads and when
activated, exposes the Flash content with checkboxes.
JAWS 7.0 does not present any such control but launches the Flash content
directly. Please could you explain this?
Thanks,

And, I should add that this issue is fixed in JAWS 7.1.
