Matt, The link that you posted states support for JAWS 6.1 and 7.0 Not 6.0 and up. I tried using the scripts for JAWS 9.0 but it does not work. The error message asks about the validity of the install. Has anybody had any better luck or does anyone know if there is going to be support for JAWS 9.0 or even support for Flex 3?
