Download the Talk

There may be hundreds of pages worth of standards and guidelines that are available to developers but most of them ignore or shun Flash. This leaves Flash developers with no information, no guides and no goal to work towards. Even if a Flash developer has the best interests of the users at heart, it can be difficult to work towards non-existent guidelines when you have no real concept of the consequences of your actions.

This session will focus on how different users interact with Flash by demonstrating a selection of both accessible and inaccessible Flash sites. Each site will illustrate challenges experienced by different types of users. Niqui will discuss in detail the barriers that each site poses and will make suggestions on how the issues can be overcome.
