Hello,
There is may be another solution for the Flash problem and it free of cost
except the cost for the download of a software
A German company has develop a access product that can read Flash and as far
I can remember it cam stop a site to refresh, too.
Go to http://www.webformator.com/englisch/whatsnew.html and red the
description of the software. If you use a old version of Jaws as your access
software then your are ok with installing the webformator. With other access
software I didn't tray out it.
