Now I don't want to start a whole discourse on the merits or evils of Flash and accessibility. However, I have been checking out Flash content with 'Voice Over' in Mac OS X Tiger and whenever it comes across flash content it just says "Scroll Area". Is there a way to get it to say something more descriptive, like "Animated content that does not affect site navigation". Or something like that?
Also I'd be interested to hear from others with experience how Voice Over compares to screen readers for Windows. I understand there is little in the way of offerings for free screen readers on the Mac OS.
<em>accessible flash</em> ie screenreader working with flash requires: <ol> <li>Windows 98, 2000 or XP;</li> <li>Internet Explorer 5 or better;</li> <li>A recent version of one of five screen reader soft packages,</li> <li>Flash plugin version 6 or better;</li> </ol> source <a href="http://www.friendsofed.com/book.html?isbn=1590596382">Web Accessibility: Web Standards and Regulatory Compliance</a> and the chapter was written by an Adobe employee.
Thanks nickobec, looks like a fine book. Your answer seems very Windows orientated. I've not had a whole heap of experience with Windows screen readers. Are there any free windows screen reading apps? The Big ones, JAWS, HAL all seem crazy expensive.
Actually is there a definitive list of screen readers for both OS's? Anyone?
That is because the Adobe approach to accessibility is windows centric. I found that reading the Adobe product (flash & PDF) chapters in Web Accessibility: Web Standards and Regulatory Compliance.
For example, Flash only talks to <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/msaa/msaastart_9w2t.asp">Microsoft Active Accessibility (MSAA)</a> through IE. The Adobe view is that visually impaired people will only use one of five screen readers on a Windows box using IE.
I understand that there is a <a href="http://www.freedomscientific.com/fs_downloads/jaws.asp">demo version of JAWS available</a> which runs for 20 minutes before you need to restart your OS, great for Parallels or VPC users.
The Adobe definitive list of screen readers (ie ones that work with flash/PDFS) are: <ul><li>GW Micro Window Eyes 4.2 or later</li> <li>Freedom Scientific JAWS 4.5, 6.1 or later</li> <li>IBM Home Page Reader 3.04 </li> <li>Dolphin HAL 6.50</li> <li>KDS PC Talker (Japan)</li></ul>
Thanks again for your input. So as far as Mac, or for that matter any other OS is concerned, there's little if anything a person can do to get the actual Flash movie itself to alert a screen reader to it's presence , apart perhaps from building a big hot area that trigers an audio clip inside the movie itself. The only problem being that whilst the screen reader is saying "Scroll area" your Flash movie is talking as well, like two people telling you different things at the same time.
So is there anything we can add to a containing element that would help? Can you put a description or longdesc on a div tag? Would longdesc work on anything other than images and would that be a mis-use?

Hollywood's current crazy stampede toward it is suicidal. It adds nothing essential to the moviegoing experience.
The very notion of Jackass in 3-D may induce a wave of hysterical blindness, to avoid seeing Steve-O's you-know-what in that way. But many directors, editors, and cinematographers agree with me about the shortcomings of 3-D. So do <a href=http://www.wholewatches.com/tag_heuer-watches.html>fake tag heuer</a> many movie fake tag heuer lovers—even executives who feel stampeded by another Hollywood infatuation with a technology that was already pointless when their grandfathers played with stereoscopes. The heretics' case, point by <a href=http://www.wholewatches.com/tag_heuer-watches.html>tag heuer fake</a> point:When tag heuer fakeyou look at a 2-D movie, it's already in 3-D as far as your mind is concerned.

Our minds use the principle of perspective to provide the third dimension. Adding one artificially can make the illusion less convincing.
Recall the greatest moviegoing experiences of your lifetime. Did they need 3-D? A great film completely engages <a href="http://www.wholewatches.com/cartier-watches.html" title="cartier fake">cartier fake</a> our imaginations cartier fake. What would Fargogain in 3-D? Precious?

In 2-D, directors have <a href="http://www.wholewatches.com/omega-watches.html" title="fake omega">fake omega</a> often used a fake omega difference in focus to call attention to the foreground or the background.

The Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory's formula for cooking up a sun on the ground may sound like it's stolen from the plot of an Austin Powers movie. But it's no Hollywood fantasy: The ambitious experiment will be tried for real, and <a href="http://www.watchvisa.com/cartier-watches.html" title="cartier watch">cartier watch</a> for the cartier watch first time, late this summer. If they're successful, the scientists hope to solve the global energy crisis by harnessing the energy generated by the mini-star. The lab's venture has doubters, to be sure. Nuclear <a href="http://www.watchvisa.com/cartier-watches.html" title="cartier watches">cartier watches</a> fusion, the cartier watches type of high-energy reaction the California researchers hope to produce, has been a scientific pipe dream for at least a half-century. It's been pitched as a miracle power source. But it hasn't yielded many results. To <a href="http://www.watchvisa.com/cartier-watches.html" title="cartier">cartier</a> make matters worse, the U.S. Government Accountability Office this month released an audit of the lab's work that cites delays and mismanagement as reasons it's unlikely the scientists will create a fusion reaction this year.
The star being cooked up in Livermore this summer is expected to die 200 trillionths of a second after it's ignited, Van Wonterghem said. And it will measure only 5 microns across, which is several times smaller than the width of a human hair. Road <a href="http://www.overwatches.com" title="replica watches">replica watches</a> to commercialization replica watches The value of this summer's experiment in laser-induced fusion will be in proving that powerful beams of light can produce a controlled fusion reaction, Seaver said. It will take at least another 20 years, with <a href="http://www.overwatches.com/omega-watches.html" title="omega replica">omega replica</a> adequate omega replica funding, to develop a continuous fusion reaction that could heat water, create steam and turn generators at a commercial fusion power plant, she said. Meanwhile, the project is behind schedule and over budget, according to government <a href="http://www.overwatches.com/omega-watches.html" title="replica omega">replica omega</a> reports. Since replica omega 2005, when the laser-fusion experiment was isolated in a government program called the National Ignition Campaign, the project has spent more than $2 billion.
The fusion reaction at the heart of this recipe is the same one that fuels the sun in our solar system and other stars. It's the most fundamental energy source in nature, Van Wonterghem said. Workers at the Livermore Lab insist that the reaction isn't dangerous. Their <a href="http://www.watchvisa.com/breitling-watches.html/" title="breitling watch">breitling watch</a> version of breitling watch fusion is controlled, rather than explosive like in America's current arsenal of nuclear weapons, which include a fusion reaction. There's no danger to the public, said Lynda Seaver, spokeswoman for the <a href="http://www.watchvisa.com/breitling-watches.html/" title="breitling watches">breitling watches</a> project. The breitling watches worst possible mishap is, it doesn't work. The fusion reaction does emit radioactive neutrons. But to stop those neutrons from escaping, the Livermore lab surrounds the reaction chamber with concrete walls that are more <a href="http://www.watchvisa.com/breitling-watches.html/" title="breitling">breitling</a> than 6½ breitling feet thick. Despite the fact that the reaction will even exceed the conditions at the center of the sun, Van Wonterghem said, the controlled fusion is expected to be incredibly small and short-lived.
Unlike burning coal and natural gas, nuclear power does not produce greenhouse gases. Critics of Livermore's fusion research say it's too expensive and too theoretical. The world needs to employ existing fixes for climate <a href="http://www.overwatches.com" title="replica watches">replica watches</a> change rather replica watches than looking for a technological silver bullet that will prove to be too expensive for commercial energy production anyway, said Thomas B. Cochran, a senior scientist and nuclear physicist at the Natural Resources <a href="http://www.overwatches.com/tag_heuer-watches.html" title="replica tag heuer">replica tag heuer</a> Defense Council replica tag heuer, an environmental group. If you want to do research and development to alleviate climate change, you have to have technologies that can be brought online soon, he said. We don't have much time <a href="http://www.overwatches.com/tag_heuer-watches.html" title="tag heuer replica">tag heuer replica</a> to turn this around. Even if the facility's lasers do create a fusion reaction, the lab is still a long way from becoming a commercial power plant, he said. It's not going to be competitive, he said. It's crazy to go down that road.
It's kind of fun and interesting -- graduate student projects designing these concepts. But they waste a lot of money in thinking nuclear fusion is going to contribute to society. Nevertheless, the scientists in Livermore remain optimistic. Van Wonterghem holds out <a href="http://www.overwatches.com/cartier-watches.html" title="replica cartier">replica cartier</a> hope for an replica cartier energy miracle from fusion and has invested his entire career in the idea. Seaver believes that what's happening at the lab is historic. This is something you're going to tell your grandchildren about, the spokeswoman <a href="http://www.overwatches.com/cartier-watches.html" title="cartier replica">cartier replica</a> said on a recent cartier replica tour of the lab.
