Hello all!



We've been testing our site, which uses sIFR, which is supposed to be
fully accessible with JAWS 7.10 and it has been blurting out some
unfriendly content... "Edit flash movie start download...blah blah
blah..." I was wondering if anyone else had encountered this problem
and had found a way around it and also if anyone knew if most blind
users have Flash turned on or off on their machines-it works fine with
Flash off.



Thanks!

Kyle

Flash support is turned on by default in those screen readers that can handle Flash. Given that most people will not configure their screen readers to a massive extent, I'd say that most will leave Flash support turned on.
