ActionScript 3.0 :: Accessibility - Traverse The Combobox None Of The Items Are Mentioned By The Screenreader
Sep 22, 2008
I need to add accessibility to a flash program which I have created. I can make the screen reader state all of the different buttons and at the top level of a combobox. However if I traverse the combobox none of the items are mentioned by the screenreader. I've tried various things down to trying to set the accessibility properties of the combobox items as though they were an array
cb[0].accessibilityProperties = accessProps0; but nothing seems to work.

I'm trying to set a specific list item in a mx combobox to have a custom item renderer, the problem is that I cannot do this via mxml, it needs to be done via actionscript at a later stage, eg: combobox gets created, combobox gets populated, user does other tasks, combobox needs to set one or more items in the combobox to have icons (via item renderer)..
I can do this via the onChange event, but it only applies the icon when the combobox is opened and there is a slight delay so you can see the icon being added.

I'm currently working on a project where I have a user defined list of urls which is saved in a local SO. When the movie is loaded the ComboBox is populated with the values from the SO (Stored as array inside SO).I want to give users the option to remove items from this list. So far I have managed to remove the selected item from the combo box, clear out the SO and loop the remaining ComboBox items, but, when I try and load these item into an array to parse back to the SO, the array is created and creates the correct amount of elements, but, each element is populated with only the data from the 0 index item of the ComboBox.My code so far: (This sits inside a button component and is invoked onClick)
_root.ComboBox.removeItemAt(_root.ComboBox.selecte dIndex);
_root.ComboBox.selectedIndex = 0;
_root.local_data.clear(); [code].......

I am trying to create a combobox where the items listed in the combobox are font names and each item will display using the font of the item label. For instance, one item label in the list is "New Times Roman" and I want that particular row in the combobox to have the text AND font of "New Times Roman". For some reason, inside of my custom CellRenderer class, I cannot seem to find a way to get the item label that corresponds to the CellRenderer and the CellRenderer.data item always appears to be null!
This is the code I am currently using:
//From the main class, I am creating an instance of the
CustomizableComboBox and adding in the font names I am interested
in.
var comboFont:CustomizableComboBox=new

3-rd day goes to waste. And soon I'll be mad. I cannot correctly do it despite the Adobe's topics (e.g. [URL]). But I need:
1) the user can enter the word (first sign - the Letter);
2) the entered item is added to the List of CheckBox;
3) that List can be correctly sorted;
4) WHAT I CANNOT MAKE: to be able to correctly remove the selected item. All indices after removing must properly changed:
so, if I removed the item with index '4', the next indices would be descended (5=>4 etc.). How can I achieve it? You may have a quiet laugh over my desperation,

var myXML:XML = <root>
<first>
<a title = "First Letter">
[Code]...
i would like to traverse the above XML searching only for an attribute. i don't know about <first> or its children (<a> and <b>), or even which level the element containing the attribute (the XML can be much deeper than my example).
it seems that the descendent accessor does not work with finding elements based on their attribute. for example, i want to traverse the XML and find the element with the attribute "Second Letter".
trace(myXML..(@title == "Second Letter"));
is it not possible to traverse an XML from the root and locate an element by an attribute?

I am dynamically creating a UI component based on XML templates stored in database. Now I want to access one of the child component of this UIComponent Class. I dont see any children property in this class? How could I possibly traverse through each child comppnent of this class and set its properties according to some logic in code(which I could not do in templates itself).

I have some kind of UIComponent grouping which may look something like this with the classes "Group" and "Element". Groups can have children and children may be elements or groups again, basically similar to a file system or the str+g group function in several graphics programs. The simplest form of a group is a group with only children which are also the most low level groups in the tree.
The display hierarchy is already existant, i try to persist it to xml.
Group
- element
- Group
- element
- Group
-element
-element
- element
- element
I want to rebuild this structure in an xml-document for persistence. I know how to build an xml document in Flex but not how to (recursively) traverse this n-tree correctly. For getting only the child nodes one could make use of the following algorithm (pseudo code). But somehow I don't understand how to create the xml from this.
walkTree(group) {
children = node.getChildren
if(children != null) {
for(int i=0; i<children.length; i++) {
if(children[i].isGroup()) {
walkTree(group[i]);
} else {
trace(child);
}}}}

The point of this code is to be able to search through previously duplicated movie clips to find the one that I am trying to access.... it doesn't seem to be working even though I have a similar routine that does seem to work. Anyone know of a better way to access/traverse the available movie clips to find the one I want?

Ok- so the idea is that when you click a button it plays the movies assigned to the variables gallery & button to the frames mentioned. Then the variables are changed and then when another buttons is clicked it does the same - 'except it doesn't - it does it once then sits there I have to use variables because there's a lot more buttons..but i don't understand why it doesn't work - it seems such a simple and obvious thing to try and do - why is it so HARD???

In AS2,suppose there is an input text field in frame 1 with var name ONE,its text content can be accessed in say frame 2 even though that textfield is not in stage.But in AS3,I think this is not possible right?So,how can I access instances or movieclips or variables at different frames?Do I have to make a class and make const vars?If so,If I have some irregular shape,say a man as movieclip,how can I add it to the global class?

I'm a blind developer who is considering learning Flex. According to this link when you compile a flex application with the defaults it isn't accessible to screen readers. Why is this, are there performance issues I should be aware of, or was this just an arbitrary choice Adobe made?

The Accessibility best practices for Flex page from Adobe website list four strategies to enable accessibility :
[Code]...
I test if the accessibility is enabled by checking the value of Accessibility.active, which is always false in my sample application containing only a datagrid and some buttons, using the four above strategies. As I'm new to Flex, I don't really know where else I could search to enable it, and no, Accessibility.active = true; isn't a solution, as it's a read-only property

I have a flash based Air application I'm trying to add keyboard accessibility to (not flex).
My problem is that MouseEvent.CLICK is not being broadcast when tabbing to and hitting enter on an interactive movieclip.
The yellow hilight rectangle shows up around the movieclip fine, and the same code works perfectly if it's compiled into a non-air swf.
Is there some difference in keyboard interaction when compiling to Air?
