public static updateProperties() : Void
Causes all changes to _accProps (accessibility properties) objects to take effect. For
information on setting accessibility properties, see
_accProps.
If you modify the accessibility properties for multiple objects, only one call to
Accessibility.updateProperties() is necessary; multiple calls can result in reduced
performance and unintelligible screen reader results.

Example
If you change an image and want to update its accessible description, you could use the
following ActionScript code:
my_mc.gotoAndStop(2);
if (my_mc._accProps == undefined ) {
my_mc._accProps = new Object();
}
my_mc._accProps.name = "Photo of Mount Rushmore";
Accessibility.updateProperties();
