David Gofman - [02/27/08 06:51 PM ] I tried to applied event.target.setFocus(); on the end. Working well if I will use mx:Button component, but not for Chart series?????????

David Gofman - [02/27/08 07:03 PM ] <mx:Button label="Mouse Over ME!!!" mouseOver="say(event, 'Button bla bla bla')"/>

Joann Chuang - [02/27/08 07:44 PM ] I believe this is a duplicate of SDK-12286.

David Gofman - [02/27/08 10:06 PM ] Maybe my bug related to SDK-12286., but not the same. I am asking some API(s) to read selected text using AccessibilityProperties from Application level. So, I would like to initialize only one/global accessibility listener (function) and pass argument for announce via JAWS 9.0

David Gofman - [02/28/08 11:25 AM ] If any workarounds available for this case? <?xml version="1.0"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" creationComplete="onComplete()">   <mx:Script>    <![CDATA[    private function onComplete():void{ accessibilityProperties = new AccessibilityProperties(); function now():void{ accessibilityProperties.description = lbl.text = new Date().toLocaleTimeString(); }; setInterval(now, 5000); now();    }   ]]>   </mx:Script>   <mx:Label id="lbl"/> </mx:Application>

Joann Chuang - [02/29/08 12:47 PM ] David - Here's the page that explains the accessibility of different Flex components: http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=accessible_5.html For the case you have in the above comment, it is the same as bug SDK-12286, you'll need to set tabChildren=true; however, based on the following from the link above, "A Label control is read by a screen reader when it is associated with other controls, or when the Forms mode is inactive. The Label control is not focusable in Forms mode, or by the keyboard." you need to make sure Forms mode is inactive.

Joann Chuang - [02/29/08 12:49 PM ] For your attached test.mxml, based on the documentation I don't think this should work. "You can attach an AccessibilityProperties object to any display object, but Flash Player will read your AccessibilityProperties object only for certain kinds of objects: entire SWF files (as represented by DisplayObject.root), container objects (DisplayObjectContainer and subclasses), buttons (SimpleButton and subclasses), and text (TextField and subclasses)." This page shows all the Flex 3 components supported by Accessibility: http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=accessible_5.html and the charting components are not included in the list.

David Gofman - [02/29/08 05:48 PM ] Hi Joann. Again you didn't get my point. I don't what to assign to any form object. I would like to create a global function to pronounce my text from every where and when I want!!! Example what I gave you very simple: Every 5 seconds I would like to here "Now is 5 hours 45 minutes 10 seconds", "Now is 5 hours 45 minutes 15 seconds", "Now is 5 hours 45 minutes 20 seconds" ...
