[flexcoders] Flex insurance calculator
Our client has put live a flex calculator we built for them. http://www.mlc.com.au/InsuranceGapCalculator/ Those interested in accessibility I would appreciate any feedback regarding the accessibility capabilities we have included. We only got to do limited testing on accessibility. Any other comments are greatly appreciated as well. Mike.

Mike, perhaps you should take a look at the link. You may have a case of mistaken identity. Mike. _ From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mike Anderson Sent: Friday, 1 December 2006 2:17 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Re: ActiveX with Flex You probably never heard of Janus, because it's created for .NET or the Visual Studio suite of products from Microsoft - which has nothing to do with Flex or Adobe. If you are looking for a nice Grid component for .NET then YES Janus makes the best one in my opinion. I've been using the Janus Grid for about 8 years now - and would put it up against the Farpoint one as well as the Sheridan Controls one. It's been a while since I looked at the 2 alternate Grids I just mentioned, so they may not even go under that name any longer. One cool thing about Janus too, is that ONE developer created it, and also supports his product. I really love it when a single person has so much talent, that they can make a living off of 1 or 2 well written components (just like Michael Schmalle, who created the Flex Sizing component). Anyway, I think the Janus guy resides in Australia, or some other country other than the USA - but he's very easy to contact, and very nice to work with. Just my 2 cents...

Subject: [flexcoders] CSS Font Hell :(
Hi,
Is it possible to apply an embedded font to a Panel's title via CSS?
Here's the simplest example I could create
[Main (PanelTitleFontCSS.mxml)]
mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe. http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml
com/2006/mxml layout=absolute
xmlns:my=*
my:MyPanel /
/mx:Application
[Panel (MyPanel.mxml)]
mx:Panel xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe. http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml
com/2006/mxml layout=absolute
title=Panel Title styleName=myFontStyle
mx:Style source=MyStyle.css /
mx:Label text=Some text /
/mx:Panel
[CSS (MyStyle.css)]
@font-face
{
fontFamily: myMyriadProBlack;
fontWeight: heavy;
src:url(MYRIADPB.TTF);
}
.myFontStyle
{
fontFamily: myMyriadProBlack;
fontWeight: heavy;
fontSize: 26;
}
In this example the label within the panel has the font applied.
The Panel header is TimesRoman or something :(

RE: [flexcoders] Flex Accessibility - TextInput Component
Hi Andrew, we are using JAWS 7.1 and have the scripts installed. It doesn't read the name out in forms or virtual PC mode. hitting ins+F5 shows the info in this list and unless you can suggest a better option this will have to do. (I presume that this option is well understood by most JAWS users of course. Is this a correct assumption?) Thanks, Mike. From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Andrew KirkpatrickSent: Tuesday, 7 November 2006 1:45 PMTo: flexcoders@yahoogroups.comSubject: RE: [flexcoders] Flex Accessibility - TextInput Component A bunch of questions: What version of JAWS? Do you have the JAWS scripts installed? (http://www.adobe.com/macromedia/accessibility/features/flex/jaws.html) Try hitting ins+f5 - is your info in this list? Do you know about forms mode and virtual PC cursor mode in JAWS? You will get some different information out of the controls in each mode. To enter forms mode, navigate to the textinput and hit enter - jaws will say "Forms mode on". Background info: Virtual PC cursor mode is when JAWS navigates through the off-screen model that it constructs for its own purposes. when in this mode (this is the mode that users are in when they enter a page) JAWS listens to the keypresses made by the user, acts on some of them and passes some on to the browser/player (this is a bit of a simplification). JAWS uses many keystrokes - "f" is used by JAWS to move the virtual focus to the next form control, right arrow reads the next character, down arrow reads the next line, etc. If a user wants to enter text into a control such as a textInput, or use arrow keys to switch the active tab in a tabnavigator, they need to be in forms mode. Forms mode allows user keystrokes to pass through to the player/browser. Additional navigation of the content (e.g. reading line by line through non-focusable objects) is not possible, and the user's interaction model is basically identical to that of a keyboard-only user. let me know if this helps, AWK Andrew KirkpatrickCorporate Accessibility Engineering LeadAdobe Systems From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]ups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Mike ShawSent: Monday, November 06, 2006 6:12 PMTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]ups.comSubject: [flexcoders] Flex Accessibility - TextInput Component Hi, we are building a financial calculator app in flex 2 which is required to be accessible.
