Accessibility in the Flash screens
authoring environment
(Flash Professional only)
Accessibility support is available for screen-based documents in the Flash authoring
environment. Using keyboard shortcuts rather than the mouse, users can navigate a document
and use interface elements, including screens, panels, the Property inspector, dialog boxes, the
Stage, and objects on the Stage.
Accessibility support for screen-based documents is similar to support for other documents,
with one exception: when keyboard shortcuts are used to navigate panels (Control+Alt+Tab in
Windows or Command+Option+Tab on the Macintosh), the Screen Outline pane receives
focus the first time the keyboard shortcut is used. (For other documents, the Timeline receives
focus first.)
To cycle through individual screens in the Screen Outline pane, you use the arrow keys.
The Screen Outline pane receives focus only the first time you cycle through the panels. That
is, if you come to the last panel and press the keyboard shortcut again, the Screen Outline
pane is skipped, and the next panel receives focus.
For complete information on accessibility in the Flash authoring environment, see Chapter
19, “Creating Accessible Content,” on page 511.
