Subject line says it all. I wasn't really expecting much, so am not too disappointed. Here's my post to the ongoing thread in response to Adobe's proclamation 18 months ago that they would be bringing accessibility to Flash on all platforms. I've pasted some links below if you're interested in trying the Flash RC1 candidate and if you're pissed off enough to add a post to the ongoing and lately ignored thread.
<Begin quote> "Flash Player 11 RC1 is available as of 06 Sep 2011. I've tried it and it doesn't appear to be any more accessible than previous Flash versions on MacOS. The release notes don't mention accessibility except to note an incompatibility between jaws/window-eyes and IE 9 on Windows. Even the install process, which still inexplicably uses the non-standard "Adobe Install Manager" is not accessible using standard VO procedures. You'll need to tab through the install manager choices, hope you've selected the correct options, and then listen closely for VO to announce "Done" to know the process is completed. Once installed, the same accessible Flash Player Preference Pane is available in System Preferences, but there are no settings related to accessibility. If anyone from Adobe is still monitoring this topic, could you please correct me if I'm wrong and describe how the Flash Player 11 Release Candidate can be used with VoiceOver on MacOS Lion?
