RE: Flash News Flash: It's Accessible

Hi all,

Also if all screen readers are going to support Access to Flash (Only 
Window-Eyes 4.2 does at this moment) and alternative information is added 
to all Flash pages, it is not accessible at all for users of screen 
magnifiers and people who need a larger font.
There are a lot of Flash pages with very bad contrast colors and very 
difficult to read font styles. There is no way to enlarge the font in Flash 
pages or change the font style.
