    It would have been 2003 that it all came together. Flash MX was first
released in March 2002 and Jaws 4.5 in September that year. I'm not sure
about Window Eyes, but Nomensa developed one of the first accessible online
Flash games in February 2003 for the RNIB:

    It looks terribly archaic now. Time and technology have moved on
considerably since then!

Hi there. 

Can someone remind me which year and what version of JAWS and WindowEyes
gave access to Flash for the first time? 

Appreciated.
