RE: FLASH: FLASH 99% BAD

[Rebecca Lovelace]

This is a good issue.  One of the other Flash mailing lists posted this link

a while back.  It is an example of designing for the visually impaired in

Flash.  It's a really cool concept, and something easier executed with

multimedia:

This guy misses the boat on so many issues we should at least point out the

one he probably has right.


- Flash reduces accessibility for users with disabilities.


How do we address this?  Is this simply a case of duplicating the Flash page

in plain-Jane HTML so that visually-impaired users can listen to what others

would see in Flash?
