At the moment it seems that nvda is slipping a bit on flash support. I have found sites that according to others, Jaws etc, has found the buttons on easily, but nvda either needs to be used in various navigation modes or seems completely unable to help to find the controls in embedded objects. At least in firefox and IE8

Have a look at the above site and see what I mean. I've been told the second embedded object has the button inside it, but I cannot find it.
This is not transparent Flash either.
Seems to me this needs some work to make it more intuitive.

Current next snap tested and its no better.

the flash applet has a few unlabeled graphics and two unlabelled buttons. The first button starts playback. These buttons should really be labelled by the author. But, I was certainly able to find and activate them.

I think from playing around a bit the newer versions of Firefox seem to work better than what I was using at the time. However, some other flash issues probably still need addressing. Of course if you try to use this in IE with the current flash version on xp etc, it won't work very well.

Its a bit like the adobe installers that now only read their buttons if UIA is on the version of windows you are using.
