[nabs-l] Jaws and Flash

[Darrell Shandrow]

Hello Brice,

Are you sure you haven't adjusted JAWS to ignore Flash content at some
point? This can be adjusted in the Configuration Manager as follows:

1. Open Internet Explorer.
2. Press Insert+6 to open Configuration Manager.
3. Press alt+s to pull down the Settings menu.
4. Arrow down to HTML and press enter.
5. Press control+tab until you reach Misc.
6. Tab to the "Ignore Flash content" checkbox and make sure it is not
checked. If it is, press the space bar.
7. Press enter to accept any changes and dismiss the dialogue.
8. Press control+s to save the configuration changes, then press alt+f4 to
close Configuration Manager.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Darrell

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
