[Wylug-discuss] MacroMedia Flash and accessibility

[Jim Jackson]

[I know this is not strictly "Linux", but I don't think it's too OT...]


What's the current thinking about Macromedia Flash and accessibility. I've
done some googling and many accessibility guides I've found are fairly old,
  > 5years. I understand that Flash is better now than before viz-a-viz 
accessibility.

Reason I'm asking is that an organisation I help out has had someone
volunteer to do them a new website. The initial new homepage is entirely
macromedia flash.

In general I'm severely prejudiced against flash, but I want to give them
considered balanced advice that meets their requirements re.

   - accessibility

   - ability to do future changes/updates to info on the web pages

any comments/advice welcome

cheers
Jim
