seems I was a bit overpassionate and there were probably a few typos or
more.
This one is of importance to correct. Too many slashes but here are some
links to make up for that err.
Searching on Flash MX and also on Accessibility at the front page will
find more than the articles I listed below. Keep in mind some of these
were authored and archived, and there are newer pieces and ideas always
hot off the key press.
enjoy, and I wanted to point out, that a person who gives a lot of heat
out to software companies, and designers/developers alike, and may have
had his own different ideas about making sites accessible - is in fact
hosting topics on this, looking at changes, and helping to encourage and
promote awareness to the design and development communities. So we all
need to sit back and realize that changes do happen, and sometimes angry
or pointed fingers work at fueling those changes to start.
A good example is an old article by Jim Heid at his Heidsite - at
macromedia and multimedia and the need to make it accessible.... it came
long before these others and in the fall just before Macromedia started
developing their Accessibility sections, so they listen and they do
care... Heid's older and good read article discusses flash, multimedia
and I believe it also touched upon SVG - it is here:
http://www.heidsite.com/archives/flashaccess.html
and a follow up here:
http://www.heidsite.com/archives/mmflashupdate.htm
At that point, I thought, cool, it is starting to catch on, and I loved
the article by Jim... the time fall 2000 - Sept 22 .

It has been great watching and being part of these changes, too. Many
more to come, I am sure. And it does not happen overnight.
