About testing your document
with screen readers
You already know the importance of regularly testing your Flash document
as you create it to ensure it performs as expected. Frequent testing is even
more important when you design a document to work with assistive
technologies such as screen readers. In addition to testing tab order in your
SWF file, you should also test your tab order in various browsers; some
browsers differ in how the user tabs to or out of Flash content. For
information about resources to test your document with a screen reader, see
"Testing accessible content" in Using Flash.
