To accelerate building accessible applications, Macromedia has built a core set of UI components. These components automate many of the most common accessibility practices related to labeling, keyboard access, and testing and help ensure a consistent user experience across rich applications. Flash comes with the following set of accessible components:
Accessible Flash components have special requirements in order to work with screen readers. The components must contain ActionScript that defines their accessible behavior. For information on which accessible components work with screen readers, see the Macromedia Flash Accessibility web page at www.macromedia.com/software/Flash/productinfo/accessibility/.
For general information about components, see About Components.
For each accessible component, you enable the accessible portion of the component with the enableAccessibility() command. This command includes the accessibility object with the component as the document is compiled. Because there is no simple way to remove an object after it has been added to the component, these options are disabled by default. It is therefore important that you enable accessibility for each component. This step needs to be done only once for each component; it is not necessary to enable accessibility for each instance of a component for a given document. See Button component, CheckBox component, ComboBox component, Label component, List component, RadioButton component, and Window component.
