Dear All,

I've been assigned the task of testing and fixing accessibility tasks in a Flex 
3 application. One of the problems we're having is JAWS not reading popup 
windows. The Alert control works (when the alert pops up, title, message are 
read, focus is on the default button, and the default button's label is also 
read, all without any user intervention, e.g. moving focus with TAB). However, 
popup windows created in other ways (e.g. the sample at 
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/langref/mx/containers/TitleWindow.html) do 
not: the popup is shown, but JAWS does not read anything.

Are we doing something wrong, is there some special setting that we need (or 
perhaps JAWS treats Alert in a special way)? We have a popup window component 
that handles user confirmations, having a configurable number of buttons, a 
title and a text message. I've tried setting focus (setFocus() and 
drawFocus(true)) on the window or the Label component used to display the 
message, and it's OK on the screen but JAWS does not read anything.

Thanks in advance,
István
