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.
