Has anyone found a way to be able to tab into a flash movie in Firefox, or is this still an unresolved Mozilla bug that we have to live with?

Thanks,

There is a way to develop Flash content so that you can tab into it using Firefox (http://blogs.adobe.com/accessibility/2009/04/firefox_focus_and_actual_links_1.html) but if the developer has not implemented the workaround then the user needs to click on the Flash movie first, which of course is not a viable workaround in many cases. I make very sporadic use of the mouse myself but can do this, whereas a user who cannot use the mouse at all cannot.

Thanks,
