Flash works fine but is not accessible in Mac browsers. It has some accessibility on Windows with Jaws (dunno about WindowEyes) but even then it has to have been coded with labeled buttons and such. HTML5 supports a new video tag which should be accessible but I haven't tried that out. What I have done is used quicktime to embed video in the page and then made HTML links to start and stop it. Here is a snippet of code which does this:
<object classid="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B" codebase="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab"; width="335" height="312" id="movie2"> <param name="src" value="/videos/accessibility/JawsFormGoodMarkup.mp4"> <param name="qtsrc" value="/videos/accessibility/JawsFormGoodMarkupQT.smil"> <param name="autoplay" value="false"> <embed src="/videos/accessibility/JawsFormGoodMarkup.mp4" qtsrc="/videos/accessibility/JawsFormGoodMarkupQT.smil" autoplay="false" width="335" height="312" pluginspage="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/"; enablejavascript="true" name="movie2"> </object> <div> <a href="#" onclick="document.movie2.Play();return false">Play good form markup video</a> <a href="#" onclick="document.movie2.Stop();return false">Stop good form markup video</a> </div> You probably could do something similar for flash but the video player you use would need to enable control by javascript. Hope this helps. CB Maxwell Ivey Jr. wrote: > Hello List; I need to know if there is a definitive answer about > whether or not flash players and their files will play on a mac.
