I’m revamping a website I’m working on to be accessible to those with disabilities. I’m using the Jaws screen reader to test.
The Flash content is embedded in a ColdFusion page.
The problem I’m having is that I can’t seem to navigate to the Flash content on the page… hitting the Tab button on the keyboard only tabs to the next link on the ColdFusion container page, never tabbing to any of the Flash buttons.
If I click on the Flash content once, I can then tab between the Flash elements, but 508 standards require keyboard-only access, so clicking once isn’t an option.
Also, even though I’ve given each Flash button a name in the Accessibility panel, the screen reader is not reading the names. (Works fine in an all-Flash page, but not in the case of Flash being embedded in a ColdFusion page).
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike
