Creating Accessible Applications

You can create Macromedia Flex applications that are accessible to all users, including those with disabilities, using the accessibility features provided with Flex. As you design accessible applications, consider how your users will interact with the content. Visually impaired users, for example, might rely on assistive technology, such as screen readers that provide an audio version of screen content, while hearing-impaired users might read text and captions in the document. Other considerations arise for users with mobility or cognitive impairments.

This chapter describes the accessibility features of Flex.
