Flash 8 - is it more accessible?
29th September 2005 by Liam McGee
Within the last few weeks, Macromedia released Studio 8, including All indications are that it’s Flash which has received the biggest overhaul, with relatively minor evolution in Coldfusion 8.
But will it be more accessible? Well, there’s no mention of accessibility in the flash Flash intro <sigh>, but… Macromedia’s own accessibility blog, which had been looking a little tired lately, is back with a vengance, and we are promised something to prolong hair life of any accessible Flash developers out there - finally we have support for partial reading orders. Required reading.
All quite promising really, though even some minor usability improvements to the authoring environment itself too would be most welcome, from me at least!
