Generator Microsoft Word 11 (filtered medium) I' m trying to access a Flash Paper document using JAWS but I can' t seem to access it. Is there a special command in JAWS that will enable me to read it?
Regards
Gary Williamson

Flash paper is just unstructured text displayed using the Flash Player.
There are no special requirements for Flash Paper beyond what it takes
to access Flash content in general.
Can you let us know what version of JAWS and the Flash Player you have
installed? Is the paper public?
Cheers,
Bob

Hi Bob
JAWS 8.0 but I'm very new to JAWS so it maybe that I am just not pressing the right button on the keyboard. The Flash Paper doc is at: http://www.templemoor.trafford.sch.uk/news/index.htm
thanks

You think you are new. LOL I don't know what you are referring to. Hmm, not
sure about all this.

Gary,
The main problem is that the Flash file starts as an "inactive control"
and JAWS doesn't read it until you activate it. If you arrow down the
page you'll hear "flash movie start inactive control" and you then need
to hit enter or spacebar to activate it. Then you can tab or arrow
through the content.
The control is inactive due to a change that Microsoft made in Internet
Explorer as a result of the EOLAS lawsuit, in case you're wondering.
If you have any sway with this center you might suggest that they use a
javascript embedding method such as is described at Adobe's site for
"active content":

You'll need to go to the URL at the very bottom of the list.
