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?


You need to call LzBrowser.updateAccessibility() to refresh the metadata. This is best done after a delay, as seen in the test case.
