Hiding Object Specifically Created for Screenreader From Sighted Users

It seems pretty obvious, but just put it behind a movie clip which is a background image.

For a flash movie, screen readers will not read the following:

• Any object off stage


• Any object that has visible=false


• Any object that has alpha = 0

To make an object invisible to a screen reader, you have to set its accessibility properties to "silent."

Accessibility Lesson: Use MouseEvent.CLICK

When you tab through buttons with a screenreader, you click the button hitting the ENTER key. The MouseUP and MouseDown are not going to work. Use MouseEvent.CLICK to capture the ENTER key event.
