CHAPTER 2
ActionScript classes
Documentation for ActionScript classes includes syntax, usage information, and code
samples for methods, properties, and event handlers and listeners that belong to a specific
class in ActionScript (as opposed to global functions or properties). The classes are listed
alphabetically and include classes that were new in Flash Player 8 and are found in the flash.*
packages. If you are not sure to which class a certain method or property belongs, you can
look it up in the Index.

extends Object
The Accessibility class manages communication with screen readers. Screen readers are a type
of assistive technology for visually impaired users that provides an audio version of screen
content. The methods of the Accessibility class are static--that is, you don't have to create an
instance of the class to use its methods.
To get and set accessible properties for a specific object, such as a button, movie clip, or text
field, use the _accProps property. To determine whether the player is running in an
environment that supports accessibility aids, use
System.capabilities.hasAccessibility.
Availability: ActionScript 1.0; Flash Player 6
