FlashPaper accessibility
FlashPaper accessibility: I'm bumping up this resource center, after reading a tip from Macromedian Andrew Kirpatrick in the Web Accessbility mailing list... Andrew noted that the JAWS reader does better when you give IE/Win the normal HTML page with a SWF reference, rather than typing the SWF's URL alone into the Internet Explorer location bar. (Basically, if you've got any type of office file, print to FlashPaper to add web access and reliable screenreader access.) (And there was another mailing-list discussion this week about Linux screenreaders, but I don't know of any that support a standard API, like Microsoft Active Accessibility yet... it's harder to support a range of devices when they don't have a common access point.)
