Flash of Accessibility
By \ November 18, 2009
What’s the biggest problem with Flash?
From my perspective, its that Flash isn’t really all that accessible to screen readers and organic SEO doesn’t happen out of the box.
Something new has come around that may start the change to further accessibility through Flash.
Those of you familiar with sIFR know that accessibility with Flash doesn’t have to be like catching a greased pig. Wrapper is a new HTML/CSS rendering engine has been created, and it works similarly to sIFR in that you use JavaScript to bind the HTML/CSS to ActionScript to create a Flash object version of the page on load.
I’m not saying that it’s perfectly 508 compliant, but at least it might nudge Flash down the righteous path.
