Basic accessibility support in Flash Player

By default, the following objects are defined as accessible in all Flash documents and are included in the information that Flash Player provides to screen reader software. This generic support for documents that do not use any accessibility features includes the following:

Dynamic or static text
Text is transferred to the screen reader program as a name, but with no description.

Input text fields
Text is transferred to the screen reader. No names are transferred, except where a labeling relationship is found for the input text, such as a static text field positioned close to the input text field. No descriptions or keyboard shortcut strings are transferred.

Buttons
The state of the button is transferred to the screen reader. No names are transferred, except where labeling relationships are found, and no descriptions or keyboard shortcut strings are transferred.

Documents
The document state is transferred to the screen reader, but with no name or description.
