Guess, most of us, who have ever been visiting websites with audio or video clips on them, have the wish there was a work around this one. The best thing, of course, would have been to edducate all web designers to label their stuff properly. Be it Flash, Links or buttons - be websites, software or you name it. Yet, I guess that is a dream. So, if any implementation could have been done in WE, that would have been great. Or, maybe it even could have been scripted. To those of you who do have a bit of sight, my question goes: In the case of Flash, is it the way that the buttons are graphical cymbols, or how do sighted persons distinguish which button is play, stop, volume and so forth? If it is graphical symbols, like the ones we find on a hardware CD-player, or something similar, would it be possible to have WE somehow 'recognize' these symbols, and label them. Guess that would be similar to what is already done, in the Graphics dictionary of WE. Right?

I have this problem alot with Web sites when using Window-Eyes. I hope that there will be a solution to this problem in future versions of Window-Eyes. ----- Original Message ----- From: Evan Reese To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, December 08, 2010 3:09 PM Subject: Any Way to Identify What Flash Buttons Do? I'm using Window Eyes 7.2 and was wondering whether there is something in WE that I can use to identify what Flash buttons do. There is this site that I go to sometimes, and there was a streaming conference I was listening to this past weekend, but in both places, among others I go to from time to time, WE just says "button" "Button" whenever I arrow over Flash buttons. Is there any way to find out what the buttons do? I imagine they must have labels that sighted people can use. I was able to listen to the stream by just hitting buttons at random until I got it, but I hope there's a better way. My Internet Explorer says that I'm using Flash 10, and I do keep it updated. I think I'm using the latest version. (Incidentally, the people running the conference apologized for using Flash, so evidently, it's not universally acclaimed; but it's prevalent enough that I would like to be able to access it better if I can.)
