Note: With inverse logic, a value of true in ActionScript corresponds to a check box that is not selected in the Accessi-
bility panel, and a value of
false in ActionScript corresponds to a selected check box in the Accessibility panel.
Modifying the
_accProps variable has no effect by itself. You must also use the Accessibility.updateProp-
erties method to inform screen reader users of Flash content changes. Calling the method causes Flash Player to
re-examine all accessibility properties, update property descriptions for the screen reader, and, if necessary, send
events to the screen reader that indicate changes have occurred.
When updating accessibility properties of multiple objects at once, include only a single call to
Accessi-
blity.updateProperties (too frequent updates to the screen reader can cause some screen readers to become too
verbose).
See the Accessibility.updateProperties method in the ActionScript 2.0 Language Reference.
Implementing screen reader detection with the Accessibility.isActive() method
To create Flash content that behaves in a specific way if a screen reader is active, use the Accessi-
bility.isActive() ActionScript method, which returns a value of true if a screen reader is present, and false
otherwise. You can then design your Flash content to perform so that it’s compatible with screen reader use (for
example, by hiding child elements from the screen reader). For more information, see isActive (Accessibility.isActive
method) in ActionScript 2.0 Language Reference.
