Flash is not accessible with Voiceover because Adobe refuses to use the
Apple accessibility APIs. Instead it wants Apple to implement a second
API called IAccessible2 which is used on other platforms. Obviously
Apple is not all that interested in implementing a second accessibility
API when they already have a perfectly good one. Thus the impasse and it
has stayed that way for years. Apple kicking flash to the curb on their
hot mobile platform probably didn't help any and HTML5 is slowly
supplanting Flash on the web, so the problem is fixing itself by writing
Flash out of the story, but that chapter hasn't closed yet and old Flash
apps still linger on. Sounds like you've stepped in one.

The one I'm specifically speaking of is the VMware View
Administration Console. We use VMware View to provide virtual
desktops where I work and the Admin Console is a flash app.

What flash apps are you trying to use with voiceover?

Hi All,
I apologize if this has been covered before, but is there any
way VoiceeOver works with Flash apps in a browser window? I
have a VMware administration app that's flash based and I get no
VO response from it at all. Just wondering if it's this
specific app or all flash apps.
Thanks,
Todd
