Flex :: Accessibility - Reading Out A Label/text?
Nov 28, 2010
I need to make a small app accessible to screen reader.I'm managing to make buttons accessible, but I would also like to have a section of text accessible by screen readers so that users can hear what the text says.
I can't seem to work out how to do this.. I've tried various text controls and set them as focusEnabled, tabEnabled, i've set the accessibility* attributes too but it never seems to work, I cannot tab to a text label and hear the content.
I'm honestly a little new to accessiblity in Flex so apologies if i'm missing something obvious.

on my website there a short animation playing when u click one of the links the animation is in a MC on main timeline, when the animation is at frame 30, the main timeline needs to jump to a specific label
so until now, if u click portfolio, MC starts playing, and after 30 frames this codes brings the maintimeline to label "portfolio"
Actionscript Code:
MovieClip(this.root).gotoAndStop('Portfolio');
With this code, i can only jump to portfolio from MC so i need to code to be more dynamic
so i thought, i create a var, and fill it with a string every time a link is clicked
Actionscript Code:
var geklikt:string = "Home";
then the code in MC checks the content of the var, and then plays the matching label
how should i recode the first line of code, so that it plays the label matching the var?

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?

How to add accessibility requirements to a swf created using mxml+flex sdk? I have a few buttons and textfields in the swf and the impaired user should be able to increase the button size and text size while using the swf. I've looked into flex built-in accessibility features, but its not what I require. I want to run the swf standalone without a browser, so preferably change the size with a visual widget.

I have an application written with Flex 3.6 and when I create a modal popup dialog, the buttons and text on that popup do not work correctly with the Accessibility properties that I have defined. The app is compiled with the accessibility flag. I build a simple app to test demonstrate the problem.

Flex's text-editing controls (mx:TextField, mx:TextArea) offer functions for doing "stuff" with the selected text (selectionBeginIndex, selectionEndIndex, setSelection), but the text-displaying controls (mx:Label, mx:Text) don't seem to offer anything of the sort.After some tinkering, I've tried subclassing Label then writing functions which give access to the underlying TextField instance... But even then, setting the selection didn't work![code]So, is there any better way to access/change the text which is selected in mx:Label and mx:Text controls? Are there "better" controls to use?

I am trying to add an item to a list and have text display and have a different hidden value when i access selected items. I also need to do this with a loop.
Currently i am trying to add a label and set the labels id to my value. But the list just shows the ID and not the text.
var theLabel:Label = new Label();
theLabel.id = "123";
theLabel.text = "test";
lstLayerList_array.addItem(theLabel);

If I create a mx:Label or mx:Text control in Flex and then set an opaqueBackground to it, I notice that there is some space around the text.
I would like to be able to get rid of that space to where the text is completely flush to the top and bottom of the label. Changing the gap, padding, and leading didn't seem to help. Is it possible to get the text completely flush to the sides of a label?

I'm looping through a recordset, and for each item I create at runtime a spark Label and set the text property from a field of the recordset. The labels must have a fixed width and some text goes multiline. I want to arrange the label vertically so I need to know the height of the label so I can place the next label properly, but when I try to read this property, after the labels is added through the addElement mehtod, it returns 0.
how to get the label height?

I'm a new to Flex, and I'm trying to add a second label to a text box.
like this: Label [_______] label 2
So the first label will describe the text box and the second the unit, for example:
cost of cleaning [_______] $ per hour
Can I do this with a label inside the form item?
what I have tried looks like this:
mx:FormItem label="cost of cleaning">
<mx:TextInput id="proSRO2YO" text="" width="120" maxChars="20"/>
<mx:Label text="dollars per hour"/>
</mx:FormItem>
but that results in a second label one line below, I need these on the same line.

Suppose I have a (Spark) label. What is the best way to find the length of the text in it? I looked at the myLable.measureText("bla bla") method but it says: To measure text in Spark components, get the measurements of a spark.components.Label or spark.components.RichTextfter looking around I cannot find what this is refering to. I tried myLabel.measureWidth() but this does not return anything usefull (it frequently returns zero). Note: I am explicitly setting the width like this:<s:Lable width="{globalWidthVariable"} .../>If the text overflows I would like to increse the globalWidthVariable to the size of the text.

I have a button with variable-length of label text. I have a User Setting that can turn on or off the label text on this button.
How can I implement this?
NOTE: the button's background has a gradient color.
I tried using BlendMode.LAYER, no luck;
I tried using Button.resizeHandler
private function resizeHandler(event:ResizeEvent):void
{
if (event.oldWidth > this.width)
[Code]....
but it only worked if the initial UserSetting value is true.
How about embedded font? I don't know how to apply it to button

I can change the color of the label in Flex Builder, I can even BIND the color to a variable and that works, but I can't find the Color PROPERTY in order to change or reference it programatically! What is the ActionScript 3.0 code to change the font or color of a piece of text in a Flex RIA - or is caring in what color your text appears too bizzarre a request for a RIA? I wrote whole applications after just minutes of "learning" flex, how come it's taken me three days and I still can't change the color of my stupid label?
