HTML Text Links in Flash and Accessibility
I’m currently trying to make beijing.100percentme.co.uk accessible. It is a flash website. Certain parts however utilises html text links, and while I’m testing with JAWs I can read and “click” on buttons. I can’t seem to do so with html text links in Flash (AS3, Flash Player 9).
I can’t find any resources or references on the net on whether I can make html text links in flash keyboard accessible.
I’ve been reading up various accessible flash tips and looking at other accessible Flash site. Such as the JKRowling site by LightMakers - I noticed they don’t have html text links thereby avoiding this problem I’m having…
Therefore… I conclude… it is impossible.
Correct me if I’m wrong. Please!
Update: Hey I found a work around. http://www.majordan.net/test/inlinelinksapp/. Next time I got to read Niqui Merret’s blog comments more carefully… >.>
