Subject: FLASH: Flash and Web Accessibilty
From: Colleen Appleton
Date: Wed, 10 Jan 2001 13:09:35 GMT

Our company is going to have a meeting concerning the Bobby guidelines,
which we have only 2 months to make sure our sites are in compliance with
this. I'm concerned about it because our site is nearly 100% Flash. I am
well aware of the need for the disabled to be able to access the Web, but
quite frankly, I don't know how to make a Flash site meet the guidelines.
We use audio files extensively in Flash to deliver help, music, voice-over
narration, and our sites are designed for 800x600 and larger screen
resolutions.

If anyone is wondering what the Bobby guidelines are, and what the
accessibility guidelines are, you can view them at the following sites:

http://www.bobby.org/
http://www.microsoft.com/enable/dev/web/default.htm

Do these rules apply to the entire Internet, or just certain Entities of it?
I already know the consequences (very serious ones) if we do not change our
sites over, but I'm wondering if anyone else has run into this situation,
and if so, how are you making a Flash site accessible to everyone? I fear
we are going to have to design two separate sites.
