Microsoft Object Inspector and the Accessible Event Watcher which are part
of the Windows 7 SDK are very useful.  aDesigner along with some of the
other MSAA based tools are good also.

I posted a blog on where to find the tools:

A colleague posted another blog on the use of the tool:

Subject: Testing flash techniques

Hi all,

in the Adobe Flash techniques at
http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/WCAG20-TECHS/flash.html

there are references to "aDesigner2" in the testing sections.

After searching for the software with various methods, I was able to find
a link by translating a Japanese page. Via IBM research I was directed to
http://www.eclipse.org/actf/downloads/tools/aDesigner/

Now I am wondering why the software was so hard to find. Is there any
background information on aDesigner? The WCAG techniques refer to
aDesigner2, but the current version on the page is 1.0 from 2012/06. Is
there a reason for the different version numbers?

I could put the question differently: What software is suitable for
testing Flash accessibility (besides a screenreader)?

Regards,
Jan
