Accessibility class

Availability

Flash Player 6 version 65.

Description

The Accessibility class manages communication with screen readers. The methods of the Accessibility class are static—that is, you don't have to create an instance of the class to use its methods.

To get and set accessible properties for a specific object, such as a button, movie clip, or text field, use the _accProps property. To determine whether the player is running in an environment that supports accessibility aids, use System.capabilities.hasAccessibility.
