[nfb-talk] Question about flash videos

[ckrugman at sbcglobal.net]

there is also a difference regarding accessibility of flash content 
depending on the browser that you are using with relation to screen readers. 
If you are using Firefox and JAWs you aren't going to get as good results 
with Flash content than if you are using Internet Explorer. There is also 
improvement with the later versions of screen readers in relation to 
accessibility of flash content.
