Sorry to hear you are having problems with the GCN site. I am a ZoomText 
user and I have no idea what version of flash I am using. The site works 
fine for me.

I click on the article I want to listen to. The article comes up in another 
window.and I then look for  the listen to this article icon. When I click on 
this the flash window comes up an shortly thereafter the reading begins.

I noticed the window has controls for pause, start over, move to end of 
article, download article to pc,. It also gives the playing time and time 
countdown.

There is also a link on the flash window for service feedback contact up 
link that will open to a online email form.

I did send them a message as to how pleased I was with the service and 
included a part of your posting about your problem with the site.

accessible is it is, but that it could be easily

impact. I shall do it but if other people
: wish, feel free. Now, Mark said that the speech was very good, so I guess 
he managed to hear it. How did you do? Did
: others succeed? I use Jaws 6.2 and Flash 8.5, I think. Here is the contact
