sad to say, throughout the years of in this industries, the problem existed everytime a new technology arises. so there's no definate a solution which resolve all such. a screen reader will be still a screen reader. it will read what the program give it. it can't read the designer mind. just like those good old images without alt tags, it will be an string of long sentence of image-=hello.jpg html 5 is mostly push and supportted by the mac. windows are following as well. makes you wonder why flash are not supportted in IPhones, IPOD and IPAD.

So maybe we won't have to worry about flash or silver light.

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 <mailto:[email protected]> 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.)
