Hi Butch,
All I can say is that yesterday at about 10:00 AM (04/11/09) I did get a
notification for a Flash Player update. I wonder did you receive such a
notification recently? Since then, the thing is well--not quite as lousy as
it was before. As I explained yesterday extensively, I do see the 4 links,
the reference to the screen reader users and below that, the partly
accessible group of buttons. Today, I tried logging in to WCBS and got the
Kansas City Feed KSPK. When the player loaded, I went down to the button
just below the tool bar labeled unlabeled 11 button, pressed space bar on it
followed by F5 and in a few seconds, there were John Sterling and Susan
Waldman of the Yankees and WCBS.
I really wish there was some sort of consistency not only within the Flash
Players themselves and accessibility but even among the screen readers and
different systems. I don't know how many times I have seen 2 people with
similar specifications have different results. If I didn't know better, I
would say there are still significant video card problems with screen
readers--meaning that some cards work better than others. But all major
screen reader manufacturers insist that those days are all gone and that
there are no differences with differing video cards or chips.

Even when I do that, I still get the same flash page, and the wrong
feed. My wife hs also tried and even with sight, she doesn't have any
better luck than I do. Man, this really sucks!!!!
