Hi Flor, Lisa, Rachel and other flash interested parties.
I seem to recall that a few months back there was an Andrew? on the list who dealt with flash accessibility. Maybe I'll
try to write him directly.
I'm glad not to be alone to face the issue but of course, it would be even better to find a solution. Not for the sake
of the test, of course but because it is amblematic of the Flash accessibility difficulty.
Flor, how queer that you should double click on the second choice to validate the first... Is that reliable? Did you try
it on more than one question?
I don't really understand what to do with the sliders but the "Help" button on the page does not display any information
either so whatever the use, it is not accessible.
I'll let you all know if I find out more...
All the best and thanks for your help and comments.
Severine

Hi,
Apologies to those who will see my message twice. I sent it out already to
Severine, earlier. here's my impression, which is more in the nature of
draft.
I looked at the first two pages of the test. It is page 2 that begins the
test proper, and it's the one where you encounter sliders. There are two
separate operations, none of which is, on the face of it, properly
accessible
to JAWS. The first is where you choose one of two answers to each question.
One can see the possible answers by routing JAWS to virtual PC. One could
then select their answer. I found it possible to select my answer, but
wasn't sure that I had chosen accurately - chosen as I had wanted.
(Example, for question 1, I needed to double-click - that is, hit the
numpadslash twice - on the second answer to choose the first one.)
At the bottom of the screen are the sliders. Presumably, this is a sliding
scale, from which you are to select your percentage of agreement with each
answer
out of the total of 100% for all answers, according to your predilections.
Without further modification at least (i.e., enabling all graphics,
labelling graphics even), this doesn't seem to be doable with JAWS (and I'm
using JAWS8). perhaps a bit of sighted assistance and a user fairly expert
with JAWS could set things up to operate the test effectively. that might
take some time, so the fun might be long gone out of this 'fun personality
test'.

Hi,
I too, went off to take the personality test that Severine lists below and
had the same issues; Like her, I'm not so interested in the test, but often
encounter interactive flash content and would appreciate pointers for
accessing with JAWS.

Subject: [VICUG-L] Flash accessibility question
Hi list,
I wanted to take a personality test that Dean Martineau cited in the TTTT as
being likely accessible. I think the test which is found at:
http://www.personaldna.com/tests.php
Relies on Flash buttons and sliders. I did not manage to select anything. I
use Jaws 7.1, Internet Explorer 6.5 and Win XP Pro. With the virtual PC
cursor I couldn't seem to be able to activate any control. With the Jaws
cursor, I could read the propositions but I didn't know how to select my
answer.
Can somebody please help? It is not of course that I am desperate to take
this test, but I often see this kind of buttons on pages and I would like to
know how to operate them.
Thanks a lot for any advice,
Severine Renard
