Acessibility in AS3

I've recently finished up a batch of Flash projects that were written using AS3 and needed to be 508 compliant (government-mandated accessibility). Since virtually everything I make at work must be accessible, I made a class to make adding accessibility much easier. Over the past couple of months I've been using it and refining it to handle all the problems I've come across. Now in hopes of encouraging accessibility and simplifying the process of learning how to do it, I'm making my accessibility class open source (GNUv3 license). You can download the accessibility class at:
http://code.google.com/p/accessible/

I've also included some great links are there for finding most anything you might need to know about accessibility. Documentation is also available on the wiki and as a .pdf in the download.

You can see my earlier post on Accessibility for some information on doing accessibility in As2.

If you want to get started in accessibility I highly recommend reading Bob Regan's whitepaper.
It covers AS2 but the issues with accessibility are pretty much the same. Then download my Accessible class for AS3 and look through the links on my wiki. Finally if you need to look up something specific try my Flash Developer Search, it only searches sites with Flash related content and is one of my favorite tools as a Flash Developer.

As far as the features I've given the Accessible class, my favorite is automatic assignment and organization of tabIndexes. It also will format text to be read properly by a screen reader and provides tools such as keyTrace which make looking up key codes very simple. I wrote this class to reduce the problem of spaghetti code that often is created by adding accessibility to existing projects. It does a good job of reducing the lines I need to write but always take time to thoroughly test your projects using a screen reader and the keyboard for navigation. Often it is when I turn of my monitor and try to play one of my games I realize how adding simple things like audio cues can make a game much more easy to play.
You can see some of my accessible projects at the MedlinePlus interactive world map and the games for the National Library of Medicine's exhibit "Against the Odds". Without a screen reader you will be able to navigate using a keyboard, and with an active screen reader you will hear audio cues and descriptions to help you play the games.
