Why aren't my text captions being read by JAWS 14.0?

Hey All,
I need some help. I'm running Captivate 7 and I'm trying to make it accessible, specifically to JAWS 14.0. I've done some research and it seems as if I've followed all the steps necessary to achieve this, but when I view my project none of my images/text captions are being read.
To save some time here is what I've done so far:
Under File > Publish Settings > Publish Settings I've checked the Enable Accessibility box.
Under File > Project Info I've provided a Project Name and Project Description.
I've added accessibility text to each slide (Only seems to work when I publish to HTML 5).
While a text caption is selected I've chosen the Accessibility button in the Properties panel and gave it a name and description.
I've done the previous step with images and buttons as well.
The problem is that the text captions and images are not being read by JAWS 14.0, and don't seem to be part of the tab order. It seems like they are not even there as far as JAWS is concerned. Am I missing a step, or does Captivate not support this type of accessibility?
"Please help me Adobe Community, you're my only hope."
Thanks a bunch.

Hello,
Text captions are static elements and hence they are not tabbable + not listed in TAB order Dialog.
For any static element (like Text captions, images, etc.), user need to use arrow keys to read them (when JAWS is used as screen reader)
All the interactive elements (like Buttons, Smartshapes as buttons), are tabbable and are listed in TabOrder Dialog.
Alternaltively, If you want your text items to be tabbable, you can use the Smartshape as Buttons.
Thanks,
Mayank Mahajan

Adobe reader Form PDF renderered in Internet Explorer not being read by JAWS

Hello,
I'm checking the accessibility of my web application in case of XFA forms generated from Lifecycle Server ES. The standalone version of the PDF forms gets easily read by JAWS but when the same PDF is embedded in a web application JAWS does not read at at all. A sample which is not being in a web application is

Thanks,

If you want to open the PDF in the browser you have to explicitely set the content type to "application/pdf", if you use "application/octet-stream" you'll always get the download box and when you choose to open from this box the reader will be used because the reader is configured to open PDF documents in the windows filetypes settings.

Why are my group text messages being sent as pictures

My group text messages are being sent as pictures or images and I don't know why. It just started happening, I've sent them before without to the same people without this happening. I can sent text messages to each person individualy and they are delivered as text. Is there some setting I can change?

HI. I had the same thing the other day. I sent a link to 40 people and got charged for 40 picture messages. I phoned my network provider and they said it is an apple fault (iphone).
If you send a group 'Text' to more than 6 people, the iphone somehow marks it as a MMS or picture message. I get free texts and was shocked to be charged, but they did look into my messages and could see it was not an image and refunded me.
If they are right, its an apple problem. Can anyone shed sme light on this?

Array problem, why aren't the object references being stored?

Hi,
I have a ClassRoom class, in its constructor I instantiate an array:
public class ClassRoom {
    public Teacher teacher;
    public Student[] studentList;
public ClassRoom() {
        teacher = null;
        studentList[0] = new Student();
        studentList[1] = new Student();
        studentList[2] = new Student();
        studentList[3] = new Student();
        studentList[4] = new Student();
        studentList[5] = new Student();
        studentList[6] = new Student();
        studentList[7] = new Student();
        studentList[8] = new Student();
        studentList[9] = new Student();For some reason the Array is not being filled with Student objects, here is the constructor for the Student class:
public Student() {
        name = studentFirstName[rand1] + studentLastName1[rand2] + studentLastName2[rand3];
        gender = studentGender[rand4];
        year = 1;
        learnAbility = learnAbilityNum[rand5];
        maths = randMaths.nextInt(10) + 1;
        english = randEnglish.nextInt(10) + 1;
        science = randScience.nextInt(10) + 1;
        happy = 8;
        attentionSpan = attentionSpanNum[rand9];Any suggestions? I keep getting nullExceptionPointer errors.

Why doesn't my text file get read properly with BufferedReader??

Here is my code:
File props = new File("c:\\jdk13\\props.spm");
     FileReader in = new FileReader(props);
     BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(in);
     String line= new String("");
     while(br.readLine() != null){
          line = (br.readLine());
          System.out.println(line);
I also tried InputStreamReader but that didn't work right either. Basically, I want to read the lines of a text file which looks like this:
excite.com
hotmail.com
yahoo.com
with the code above, all it sems to read is "hotmail.com" and then a null. what is going on here? anybody have working examples of a BufferedReader reading lines from a text file?
thanks in advance,
chuck

It's happening because you say this:
read the first line
put the next line in the variable line
print it
read the next line
put the next line in the variable line
print it
read the next line - null so I'm done
.readln does just what it says - reads the line. That said, you can do this:
while ( (line = br.readLine() ) != null ) {
    System.out.println( line );
}

Why aren't my text layers rendering? Text only renders in RAM Preview

I have a moderately complex 2D composition in AE 2014, using several Adobe Illustrator files and nested compositions that render fine.
I can also preview the composition perfectly in RAM preview (about 25 seconds of it anyway).
The problem starts when I try to add composition to the render queue. Everything except the text layers render fine, but the type is missing (these are native AE text layers, not imported type).
I've had no success searching the Adobe and Creative Cow user groups. All layers are visible with "eyeballs" turned on, and I'm not using any 3D settings.
Settings for rendering are Best Settings, Lossless, but I've played with various settings and get the same results.
I am on an older MacBook Pro, running OS 10.7.5
Please help, thanks.

Never mind, I found where to find the guide layers on YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42STZhKbodk
I must have turned them on by mistake.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

Can I stop a text from being read by the wrong person

Can I stop an unread text message

No. Once it's sent it's gone and you have no control over it

Why aren't my iphone emails being sent from my default email address. Is anyone else having this problem?

I have my iphone email default setting to my primary email address however when I send or respond to emails they are sent from my secondary email address even if I de-activate the secondary email address. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to correct this?

Are you sending from All Inboxes, or the inbox for the account the message was received in? I cannot duplicate your problem with either approach; my mail is always sent with the FROM address of the account that a Reply came to, or, for a new message, the inbox that was open at the time. It doesn't matter which SMTP server I use.
When composing a new message or a reply tap once on the BCC/FROM field; you can then tap on the From address and choose any of your email addresses for the FROM field. Does this let you change it?

Why are my RAW images not being read, showing up as black rectangles?

I installed the newest version of iPhoto because the RAW images were not readable. And after doing a little research, I needed to upgrade. Now, it is acting like it can see them, but they are black rectangles. Except the first one, of like 300, the bottom half of the photo is there, but the top half is blacked out.

And
What camera?

Some text caption prefs not reflected in recorded project

In Captivate 5:
Among others, I have set the following preferences prior to recording:
Font size: 12pt
Vertical alignment: Top
Display for: Rest of slide
The text captions in the resulting recording show the following:
Font size: 19pt
Vertical alignment: Middle
Display for: Specific time
Any ideas as to why some of the text caption prefs are not being applied to the recording (while some are)?
Many thanks.

Absolutely. Here are screen captures to clarify:
Settings in Prefs and Object Style Manager prior to recording:

Why are my incoming texts being sent to a friends email?

I was given an iPhone 3gs about 6+ months ago by a friend, switched it over to my provider and have had no problems up until about a week ago. All of a sudden, all of my incoming texts started being sent to the friend's email address who gave me the phone, and I'm only receiving part of them. I've checked with both her service provider and mine and there is nothing that can be done by either. I know for a fact that the phone is no longer linked to the email address in any way that I can see, as the phone has been completely wiped clean and set up for me. Is there anyone who has had this type of issue or know how to fix it???

Incoming text messages as in SMS/MMS, or iMessages?
This must be for iMessages and if so, your friend needs to deactivate or unregister the iPhone for iMessage with his/her Apple ID.

Why does spell checker skip some text captions?

I spell checked my project and found typos. But there was another typo on the very first slide, first text caption, which it left behind. Why did it do this?
I thought, maybe this typo is in my dicitonary, so I deleted more letters from the word, and it still did not find it.
Then, my search on this topic I found advice to export all captions to Word and spell check there, then reimport back into Captivate. Is there something I don't understand here? Why does spell check find some errors and not others?
Please straighten me out.
Thx!

Hi there
Just a WAG here, but what had focus when you kicked off the spell checker? My thought here is that many spell checkers work in "directions". For example, in some apps, you choose whether you search from the selected point forward or from the selected point backward. So assuming Captivate is programmed to work in "this point forward" mode only and you have perhaps slide three selected, that would explain why earlier slides would be skipped.
Note that it's only a theory at this point. Either way, I'd strongly suggest you consider filing a bug report to the development team about it so they can investigate. (Link to the reporting form is in my sig)
Cheers... Rick
