It does not work. Without getting into too much detail, transparent Flash objects can't expose accessibility data because they're embedded in the HTML document differently, and they can't express the MSAA data needed.
The same is true for wmode=opaque, by the way. The only supported way is wmode=window, which is the default. It's not a bug, per se; it's a fundamental limitation of the mode. However, it is possible to use something like FlashAid to test for the presence of assistive technology before loading the page, and then set wmode=window on subsequent pages if AT is in use. - m On 5/26/09 3:12 PM, "Greg Hess" <[email protected]> wrote: Hi Folks, I have been reading many posts on issues with screen readers(JAWS) when using the wmode=transparent|opaque, basically they state accessibility does not work with transparent or opaque flash applications. The posts are all over a year old and I am unable to find an adobe bug on it... as such I am not certain there is an issue or if it has been resolved. Does anyone know if accessibility works with transparent flash apps? Any help much appreciated, Greg
