[nabs-l] Jaws and Flash

Hi,

I've been having a lot of trouble with Jaws and flash content lately,
and its gotten to the point where I can't ignore the problem anymore.

Using Jaws 11 and the latest version of Flash, I cannot interact with
flash videos or content at all with Internet Explorer. For example, If
I'm on a site that says to watch this video, jaws will not even
indicate flash content at all. If I'm trying to watch a Facebook
video, Jaws gives me no indication there's video content on the page
even though I can see visually the flash controls on the screen. If I
use Firefox on the exact same page, Jaws does say "Flash movie start,
flash movie end," but with no controls to watch the video. Internet
explorer with Jaws does not even indicate flash content begins and
ends.

This is unbelievably frustrating, as older versions of Jaws could at
least move within the flash video and let me find the play button.
Does anyone know what I can do?

Thanks,
Brice
