No previous message | Next message →
Hi,
I have two questions.
* First question
I have following content on stage.
Four checkboxes
Dynamic text field
Button
I have unchecked the Auto label option from accessibility panel. When I
press insert+F5, I get names of the check boxes along with the text from
dynamic text field. Ideally it should display only label of the check box.
Can anyone guide me on this?
* Second question
I have a file called main.swf, there is a button on this file which opens
another file try.swf
Code:
on(press)
{
loadMovieNum("try.swf",0);
}
I have a button called close on try.swf
I want to close the html window on click of a close button. How can I do
this? (I am publishing all the files as .html)

I don't know why it is reading the dynamic text field. Can you send a
sample?

Look up the Externalinterface.call method.

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,

Looks like JAWS is adding the text just before the checkbox name in the
insert+f5 dialog, but I'm not sure why. It only is doing this in this
dialog, not when tabbing or in VPC cursor mode. The accessibilty name
is correctly identified by the player. I'll check with Freedom
Scientific.

The inactive control, in case anyone is not familiar with this topic, is
created by internet explorer as a result of a recent security release.
Any activeX control that you want to interact with, whether it is Flash,
QuickTime, other something else, will require that the user clicks on it
or sets the focus and hits the spacebar or enter keys to activate the
control.
JAWS and Window-Eyes handle this change differently. In VPC mode, JAWS
reads the Flash content, but if you are in forms mode you'll need to
click enter/space when the flash has focus. If you enter forms mode by
hitting enter on a control within the flash, this happens all in one
shot.
Window-Eyes does this differently. With window-eyes you are told that
there is an inactive control and you need to hit space or enter. This
all comes down to JAWS and W-E dealing with active content differently.
Flash author's best bet is to avoid imposing this aggrevation altogether
by following our guidelines for adding Flash content to web pages, as
specified at the active content developer center:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/activecontent/. In a nutshell, you will use
little javascript to make the flash appear on the page. If you add an
interactive control to a page with embed, applet, or object elements
then users will need to click on it first, but if you create it with
javascript they don't.
