Navigation Description
Move slider back The playbar indicates the user's position within the
and forth media; the playback slider moves horizontally (by
default) to indicate the playback from beginning (left) to
end (right). The slider moves from bottom to top when
the controls are oriented vertically. As the slider moves
from left to right, it highlights the previous display space
to indicate that this content has been played back or
selected. Display space ahead of the slider remains
unhighlighted until the slider passes. Users can drag the
slider to affect the media's playback position. If media is
playing, automatic playback begins from the point at
which the mouse is released. If the media is paused, the
user can move and release the slider and the media
remains paused.
There is also a volume slider, which moves from left
(muted) to right (maximum volume) in both the horizontal
and vertical layouts.
Tab, Shift+Tab Moves the focus from button to button within the
controller component, where the focused element
becomes highlighted. This navigation works with the
Pause/Play, Go to Beginning, Go to End, Volume Mute,
and Volume Max controls. The focus moves from left to
right and top to bottom as users tab through the
elements. Shift+Tab moves focus from right to left and
bottom to top. Upon receiving focus through the Tab
key, the control immediately passes focus to the Play/
Pause button. When focus is on the Volume Max button,
and then Tab is pressed, the focus moves to the next
control in the tab index on the Stage.
Spacebar or Enter/ Selects the element in focus. On press, the button
Return appears in its pressed state. On release, the button
reverts back to its focused, mouse-over state.
