Flex and accessibility/disability

Hi All
Given the recent focus on disability discrimination, how do
Flex apps perform with assistive technologies such as screen
readers?
What about complying with standards such as
Section 508 and
WCAG?
I know it's a dull question, but any information would be
extremely helpful.
Many Thanks
Barry

I know the Flex Developer's Guide has a chapter on "Creating
Accessible Applications" that will probably answer many of your
questions if you haven't read it yet.

  • Flex and Access

    Hi,
    I dont know if this is the right place to post this, but I am
    wondering if it's possible ot hook up Ms Access and Flex. How do I
    access the database through Flex ?....I don't need the code, but I
    would need some pointers to help me get started.
    Thanks!

    You can't directly hook Flex to any database. Flex is meant
    to be the presentation tier in a multi-tier web application. As
    such you have easy ways to access web services or make http
    requests. Flex data Services (an additional license) would give you
    access to Java j2ee. There are also some open source options in
    this space. Another option is to write you database access in Java
    and create web service binding with a tool like xFire.
    Also remember that Flex is not allowed to access local
    resources on the local pc. However Apollo (a local runtime for
    Flex) will allow this. I'm not sure if Apollo will have direct
    database implementation or not. Check out Adobe Labs for
    more info.

  • WRT610N Remote Management Access disabled and yet I could access??!

      Hi,
     I have the WRT610N, latest firmware (.10, early 2009). I noticed something when I accessed my FTP from work.
    I used the IP address and the "folder" to see my files in a web browser (like 82.2.2.2/MyftpFolder).
    But when I typed the IP only, I could see the router config page, despite the fact that I disabled it in "remote managment access"...
    Anyone else have seen the same problem?
    My ftp user is "admin" or I gave it all rights and access, by the way!

    Hi,
    I just had the same happen to me.
    I have a WRT54GL and I connect to my Exchange server daily through Outlook Web Access. Today when I came to work I could'nt connect. I tried my domain to see if the default website was down also and to my horror ended up in the router management gui. This have never happened before, I have the router redirecting all port 80 traffic to my web server. And since I had disabled the remote access to the router I never changed the password so the door was wide open. I will contact Linksys about this because as far as I understand it's either a serious bug or I've been hacked.

    Hm Thanks!
    The "problem" was that I was at work when I noticed that and my router is at home...so when I typed my wan ip (82.2.2.2) I saw the GUI.
    Nope I did not try to another computer either inside my LAN at home or from a WAN IP, as I have no more job, and no access elsewhere...
    So I can not reproduce what I saw until I get an outside connection! I was just wondering if anyone else encountered the same.

    Users cannot access removable devices after you enable and then disable a Group Policy setting on Windows 7 64 bit machines.
    on the 32 bit machines I was able to apply this hotfix

    Is there a hotfix for 64 bit?  If not, what is the work around?

  • FLEX and JSP

    so for my senior design project i designed a web project using java servlets and JSP pages. For one part of the project to visualize some data i used FLEX to create GANTT Charts. Now that it's done i was looking into how to embed that flex code into JSP page and i found on ADOBE website links for taglibs, however right now it redirects me into a page of Adobe LiveCycle , which cost a lot of money.
    Is there another way to embed flex into jsp? or some other way to get just the taglib for flex?
    Thank You

    It depends on how Flex is getting the data, and how it's generated. If you refresh the page, then the Flex app will be reset, and won't have any knowledge of previous data. One thing you could do is store the data on the server and access it via some web-service calls (eg AMF or REST). The server could manage the user's session, store data, and generate or retrieve previous data.

  • Flex and JSP tutorials and articles?

    I found one that doesnt really answer most of my questions: http://cookbooks.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=showdetails&postId=7746
    I am looking for more information on setting up flex applications that can sit ontop of JSP pages and utilize the code to interact with the back end data base to display, gather, send and retrieve data. I like the whole "not having to refresh when new data comes in" concept.

  • WRV200 can be administered wireless in spite of Local Remote Access DISABLED.

    I have a WRV200 with Local Remote Access disabled (HTTPS= Disable and Allow Wireless Web Access= Disable).
    When I go and connect wireless to the router, I still can access the configuration in wireless mode.
    What do I need to do such as to not allow the router to be administered wireless.

    The main thing to do is to stop using "admin" for your router password.  Instead,  put a strong password on the router, then don't tell anyone the password.   Then, no one will be able to access the router's setup pages except you.
    By strong password, I mean a password with 15 or more random characters, including capital letters, small letters, and digits.
    Write down your password and lock it in a file cabinet.  After the router has been setup, you will only need the password a few times a year.

  • Working with Flex and Central

    Hi,
    I am new in Flex and Central and interested in working with
    Flex and Central and I'm currently trying to run one of the samples
    from the "Central Flex SDK", the HelloFlexCentral. I have an error
    when trying to run the application. The "import.mx.central" line is
    not recognized.
    I don't understand how to connect Flex and Central. My
    questions are :
    - Do I have to install a JRun environment to run/develop this
    kind of application or can I develop the application without a JRun
    Environment ?
    - Can I deploy my application on a IIS server for example
    (and then all the users will install it in central by accessing
    this webserver) ?
    - Where do I have to put all the "CentralIntrinsics" stuff to
    avoid this error I encounter ?
    Thank you for your answers.
    Olivier

    If you want three distinct notes, I suggest you cut it into three samples, then using flex pitch drag the notes to the pitches you desire. Keep in mind that the farther away a note is from it's actual sampled pitch, the worse it's quality will be.

  • AS3 and Accessibility

    Hi,
    I'm experiencing a strange problem with Flash and accessibility where I disable a button yet it still appears to be active to a screen reader. Usually the MSAA state should be set to 'unavailable' for disabled buttons. Is there any way to manually set the state from AS3? The only solution I can think of is to hide the button from the screen reader however I don't think that this is very good practice.
    It seems that Adobe still have a bit of work to do for developers to build accessible content.

    This is a bit more completed:
    //IMPORT
    import flash.accessibility.AccessibilityProperties;
    //APPLY ACCESSIBILITY
    movieClip.accessibilityProperties = new AccessibilityProperties();
    //what screen reader reads plus the word “button” (watch out for it saying “button button”)
    movieClip.accessibilityProperties.name = link 1 '
    //enabled
    movieClip.accessibilityProperties.silent = false;
    movieClip.tabEnabled = true;
    //disabled
    movieClip.accessibilityProperties.silent = true;
    movieClip.tabEnabled = false;

  • Porting an InDesign Plugin from InDesign CC to InDesign CC 2014 the plugin complies successfully with the InDesign CC 2014 SDK but at run time presents this error and is disabled. Does anyone know what might be the issue?

    Porting an InDesign Plugin from InDesign CC to InDesign CC 2014 the plugin complies successfully with the InDesign CC 2014 SDK but at run time presents this error and is disabled. Does anyone know what might be the issue?
    Run TimeError Message Presented when InDesign CC 2014 runs:
    Adobe InDesign cannot load the FastFractions.InDesignPlugin plug-in. The FastFractions.InDesignPlugin plug-in requires the 9.0 version of InDesign. Please contact the vendor to get a compatible version of FastFractions.InDesignPlugin.
    Show this alert again?

    As already told this means that the plugin has not been ported correctly. Some part of it for ex InDesign libraries or frameworks are being referenced from the CC sdk instead of the CC2014 sdk. To troubleshoot it i would advise you to rename the folder containing the CC sdk on your machine and then compile the project, it will fail to compile and you will get to know straightaway what aspects of the ported project are still accessing the old sdk. Fix the errors and your plugin will load fine.

    I locked myself out of my phone and am out of the country without access to a computer only an iPad to email and access iCloud  how can I get into my phone

    Hi Myreiac,
    Here's what the Apple Support site says you can do if you do not have access to a computer when your device has been disabled:
    If you are using Find My iPhone, you can use Remote Wipe to restore your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode.
    You can access Find My iPhone via the Find My iPhone app on your iPad.
    Good luck!

  • Locate, identify and delete/disable a remote sharer/user

    How can I locate, identify and delete/disable a remote user?
    I have already disabled guest account, disabled and locked share files etc.yet I still suspect they are accesssing my hard drive and internet.
    I also want to know if it is possible to find a username of the remote user on my hard drive that can possibly identify them?
    Thank you

    Thanks Eric, i have turned on the firewall recently, and after your advice just checked the terminal. As I had to re-install OS X Ia am the only user in history, But that is Useful to know for the future. At times, when I open security, share or accounts in System Preferences I find the padlock unlocked. Especially of late when I am very mindful of double checking they are locked before I close down that window.
    I Suspect an ex friend who is a workmate accessed my computer or took my original start-up disks, then returned without knowing, is there any way of knowing if they have access on their computer from using those discs somehow? I Know it sounds all too 'conspiracy theory', lol,  but it is something I've had brought to my attention.
    Thanks, your advice is appreciated

  • Flex and ClearCase

    I have ClearCase installed and can access it under Flex (4.0), but I can't add it to the menu.  When I go to Window | Perspective | Customize Perspective I find it on the Command Groups Availability tab.  I check it there and go back to the Tool Bar Visibility tab it will be checked there.  But clicking OK does nothing.  No error warning, but it doesn't work.

    We (my team) went over this 50 times. A lot of the docs talk
    about Flex Data Services, which is a java servlett from Adobe that
    has a lot of wicked functionality. Like, for instance, they can
    propagate changes to other flex apps. There's talk about RPC and
    other proprietary protocols. It's easy to get confused.
    In the end, Flex doesn't care. We decided to write our own
    server in Java and use JSON for the messaging. It just plain works.
    So, yes, imho write your server in C#, it will work. Fire up
    a debugger in Visual Studio, and another in Flex and watch it
    happen.

  • How can multiple users edit and access same ACCESS file

    Hello,
    We have 2 access files and multiple users needs to edit and access those files.
    How can I enable mulitple access but only one user can edit rest of users are in read-only mode for one file and multiple access and edit on the another file.

    Hi,
    You should split your database in a front and backend. Then create two seperate front ends which you can distribute. If you need readonly you can opt for two options, setting the attributes of the file to read only or create a front end with read only forms.
    The last one takes a little more work but is safer than setting the attributes to read only because people can change that back themselfs.
