Yup, definitely important!
I'm actually intending to comment on the accessibility API, but I want to
get permission for some of the content I have written before I post it. I
can't really speak for IBM, so I just want to cover my butt :-)

Thanks, now I see why the "focusable" and taborder stuff needs to work
for for arbitrary views...

Max,
How would I implement the following behavior; I have a movieclip which I
want to "speak" some text when I move the mouse over it. I need to put
this
on "movieclip" rather than
on LzView, because I'm implementing the "alt" text feature for the <img>
tag inside of htmlText of a TextField (in an LzText view). I have access
to the actual MovieClip object that is being displayed, and I tried
adding
a _accProps object to it, but it
doesn't seem to speak when I move the mouse over it.
For that matter, if I have an LzView that has an image resource, how do I
attach alternate text to it? I tried some variants of this as:
<view id="foo"
resource="horse2"
aadescription="nice horsey"
aaname="pretty horsey"
width="200" height="140" bgcolor="yellow"/>
but it never gets read by the screen reader program when I mouse over it.
Is there
something explicit I need to do?
