Something else you may wish to consider, usually in these windows you
see a "listen in stand alone player", i choose the Windows Media stream
and Winamp on my systems picks this up, no need to bother with the
interface in Windows Internet Explorer then.

Hi Ray
one little trick I've come up with is to click the help link located
near the bottom of the i player window. Then I refresh the MSAA buffer
manually. In my experience that results in some of the buttons being
labeled.
I usually just click on the listen again link and sit back and enjoy
the program. The pause is one of the buttons that is labeled after the
above procedure is followed. That's the only button I care about.

Hope this will intrerst GW staff as well as other listers.
The UK has a regular programme for blind and VI people, In touch.
Last night they did a second programme on the Flash Based BBC IPlayer
which is causing quite a few people, Window-Eyes users or not, some
grief.
A regular Window-Eyes user couldn't identify the buttons on the
Iplayer which are in fact labeled. Léonie Watson a savvy user of
access software, not a regular W-E user though - could find the
buttons with W-E 6.
It is possible the guy who couldn't use IPlayer wasn't using the
latest version of W-E.
My questions:
1. would say, 5.5 identify these labeled buttons?
2. Is there a reason why under some conditions, W-E 6 wouldn't
identify the buttons?
3 Would the version of Adobe Flash installed have a bearing on this?
I can add that beta 7 has no problems with the BBC IPlayer as far as
it goes, but then the BBC has been castigated for not getting the
access in IPlayer perfect from the start, particularly the drag bar
for navigating through streams, and the volume control slider.
Those here in the UK, and posibly those outside it, can go to:
<http://www.bbc.co.uk/intouch>http://www.bbc.co.uk/intouch
and find a listen again link which may work for everyone as the
programme doesn't have music-related copyright issues, but sorry if
others cannot access it to experience the IPlayer in all it's glory!
I do think something could, or should be done, to improve access with
the Flash player generally as it is now taking over as the streaming
player of choice for many many websites. Maybe this
might mean enhancing Flash support via MSAA, I don't know.
Interestingly though I would not be able to use the mouse pointer in
W-E to get at the scrub bar slider controls as the off screen model
doesn't know the slider is there.
So, comments please. Sorry for a long post, but I know this isn't a
simple issue.
Thanks,
Ray.
