public static function isActive():Boolean
| Player version: | Flash Player 6 |
Indicates whether an accessibility aid is currently active and the player is communicating with it. Use this method when you want your application to behave differently in the presence of a screen reader or other accessibility aid.
Note: If you call this method within one or two seconds of the first appearance of the Flash window in which your document is playing, you might get a return value of false even if there is an active accessibility client. This is because of an asynchronous communication mechanism between Flash and accessibility clients. You can work around this limitation by ensuring a delay of one to two seconds after loading your document before calling this method.
Boolean —
A Boolean value: true if the Flash Player is communicating with an accessibility aid (usually a screen reader); false otherwise.

| updateProperties | () | method |
public static function updateProperties():Void
| Player version: | Flash Player 6.0.65.0 |
Causes all changes to _accProps (accessibility properties) objects to take effect. For information on setting accessibility properties, see _accProps.
If you modify the accessibility properties for multiple objects, only one call to Accessibility.updateProperties() is necessary; multiple calls can result in reduced performance and unintelligible screen reader results.
