If you have some sort of scrolling text a user may need to freeze it so they
can read it. Those with cognitive disabilities may become overwhelmed and
not understand fast moving information. Flashing lights or flickering could
trigger a seizure for someone with a seizure disorder.

Subject: Movement in pages
Group,
Excuse me if you have addressed this issue before now. Checkpoint
7.3 of the WAI guidelines states 'Until user agents allow users to
freeze moving content, avoid movement in pages.' This is a Priority
2 issue.
Can any one tell me about the exact implications of this guideline?
If movement is incorporated through Flash (where the guidelines for
the creation of accessible Flash have been followed) will this fall
foul of the guideline?
Does the word 'Avoid' in the Guideline more accurately mean 'Do not
use at all' or more flexibly 'Try not to use'.
Regards
Frank Gaine
