yeah, i can see that. but why are there so *many* Flash pages on the Web
that aren't accessibly coded? And the BBC prides itself on
accessibility. (or should I say, prided? After all, their chatter is now
almost all about cutbacks.)

Its working with the flash as its suppose to.
However, the new page given has flash not using accessibility. They
just left it out or someone else did the coding.
At 10:33 AM 4/12/2011, you wrote:
There are unlabbelled buttons in the flash content, which JAWS12 sees.
Mine called the Play button unlabelled 1 button, and if I press that
to pause it becomes unlabelled 2 button. JAWS11 may not be working
well enough with this flash content, but in any case it is or appears
to be rather unsatisfactory so far.

Good day,
My flash is enabled, and it sounds to me as though you are describing
the older, accessible consol which I never had a moments problem with
and would like to continue using. The new one is NOT! like that.
I am using Jaws 11, and my problems began Sunday night,, ... I use
the BBC site for one reason or another at least six days a week and
have for over five years, so please believe me this is recent.
If they work correctly the two links below should take you to the two
different listen again pages they are now presenting. The first is
the old accessible page, the second the new page where I have not
been able to find the buttons that are still there, somewhere.

You need to have flash enabled, as the page has a lot of that. the
buttons are then read by JAWS. there is the Play/pause button which
does
what it says. The timeline button allows you to jump by percentage
increments, the percentage being of the programme's length. There is
also a volume adjust button, and an Adobe Flash popout button. You
didn't say which version of JAWS you're using.

Good day,
Has anyone come across the new (and supposedly improved) iPlayer
that
the BBC uses to play their radio shows online? The "old" one
uploaded
and showed a simple consol that was easy for Jaws to navigate. This
new one is displaying a page filled with links, graphics and text.
I
had someone sighted take a look and the vital buttons are still
there,
and have the same labels: play/pause, volume and timeline, but Jaws
can't find/see them with either cursor. Could this possibly be a
Jaws
setting I need to change? Or is there a work around that will let
me
find them? Because not being able to hit pause during a three hour
show is a real problem.
If anyone has any help or suggestions to offer I'd be very
appreciative,
Yours sincerely,
Joy
Please take a few moments to browse and enjoy
