What version of NVDA are you using? Is this true for all Flash objects? Please provide example URLs.

Replying to jteh:
This is occurring with NVDA snapshot main-4329 but has been around a while.

This behavior is found on all flash objects I've run across, including the video on the NVDA homepage and YouTube videos.

This works correctly for me. What happens when you press NVDA+control+space? Does it just say nothing? Does it work for you with NVDA 2011.1.1?

This is interesting. When using the dev snapshot, NVDA just speaks nothing and remains in the object. Tabbing around in the object and then trying the same command still does nothing.

NVDA 2011.1.1 on the other hand somehow puts the virtual cursor on another tab of Firefox if it is open, but when using Tab or other commands, the focus is still in the Flash object.

This is 64-bit Windows 7 if that helps.

Hi, more info on this.

So, in Wind XP SP3 32-bit, using Firefox 4.0.1 and the Beta of Firefox 5, the flash object is presented as a little web page like expected. I never really used this and just tabbed around the object instead of using the quick navigation keys to move to buttons etc, so this escaped me until now.
In Windows 7 64-Bit, using the same versions of Firefox, there seems not to be any virtualBuffer being created. Basically, tabbing works but you can't use up and down arrows, or the quick navigation keys to move to the different buttons.

In conclusion, it looks like the buffer for the flash object is being created for XP, but not for 7. Hope this helps.

A log from NVDA on Windows XP from the time I press O to move to the object to when I hit NVDA-ctrl-space to exit it.

I'm using Win7 64 bit here and definitely get buffers for Flash. Anything else that might be different on your Win7 system?

The same thing as the XP log, but here the treeInterceptor stuff doesn't happen.

Not that I can think of. I've got the latest snapshot as of yesterday, latest Adobe flash and Firefox, maybe it's a Win7 update itself. I'll see if that solves anything, although I keep things pretty updated.

I even went in and disabled all FF addons and did the same tests on both machines, same thing.

Hi,

Nothing even after a Win7 update. Admittedly there wasn't much there, but still I figured it might be worth a go.

I hope the attached logs to this ticket help a bit.

This ticket looks abandoned. Unless there is something in the logs provided that I do not know about, I would suggest worksforme

No activity for years and Flash is more or less dead now. Closing.
