Hi Thomas,
that's ok.
It is no problem that you don't know all the technical details of this.
I was just wondering why there is that huge difference between Flash content
in a web browser and as a stand alone application.
It sounds a bit strange that web content would be made accessible by design
but not the separate applications.
I mean, initial Flash support in JAWS for example goes way back to around
JAWS 5 or 4.
And since then many things were changed but never was there the support for
the other Flash Player.
And during that time it was more the job of the screen reader developer to
provide support for the most often used applications, like it was done for
Microsoft Office for example.
Thus from the point of view from the end user it looked as if the screen
reader developers would not want to include support for such technology even
if it was not their own fault.
And as I said, even if providing accessibility is more in the hand of the
application developers today, at that time it probably wasn't.
And that's why it was for the user at least a strange thing that sighted
workers had to deal with such things or Silverlight web applications but the
blind or visually impaired workers could not do so without assistance
because screen readers could not work with such upcoming technology which
was in use around the world.
