Please check out federalnewsradio.com and use the listen live link and
the silver light choice after that.  You don't need any membership to

Hello Rick,
You mentioned Silverlite on Netflix.  Is Silverlite the program being
used to play movies on Netflix?  If so, I could not find any way to
access the controls to pause or go to the next and previous episodes.
Is there a way to do this?  Thanks for your assistance.
Dennis

        I will post up if I head in the Silverlight direction. Netflix
has a pretty accessible Silverlight experience - only 3 buttons not
reading their alt values and that is likely the programmer not
specifying values.

                I don't know how many favors you do yourself when you
pick your tools based simply on the company who produces them. Still,
your perrogative. Just know that I've seen lots of accessible Flash and
no accessible Silverlight. But at least do let us know how you get
along.

                        Well, it has been a couple of days I think since
the responses on this thread. Since nobody has seemingly used
Silverlight I guess it would be the world's first use by a blind
programmer! flash is not an option since I am a MS person and want to
stick with MS solutions.
                        Thanks for all the suggestions and I may, or
not, mess with Silverlight if I can find any examples I can understand.
                        Thanks again:

                                I would check it out. Flash is a lot
more prominent on the web, at least the places I frequent, than
Silverlight, and I think for good reason. Not all Flash is accessible,
but these instances can always be traced to developers not having much
of a mind for accessibility. Given your sensitivity for it as a
developer, I am confident you can come up with not only an accessible
but a very user friendly interface for streaming media through Flash. I
have not done any real dirty work with it, just a couple of demos
myself, but I've already been to about four places on the web today that
used Flash to stream their content, and I had a passable to pleasant
experience with all of them. Just go look at Youtube for the most
obvious example. All their video is flash.

than using Silverlight? I have never even looked at flash and, for the
most part, found flash sites not very accessible using a screen reader.
                                        Have you experience in using
flash to play audio and video? Can it be made accessible and is it easy
to learn?
                                        Silverlight seems quite
complicated and I have not found good articles with any details
concerning building a webpage and playing audio let alone video that was
complete or simple enough to get through.

                                                Why not just use Flash?

any folks who have worked with Silverlight?
                                                        I would like to
add audio streaming to a site and later video so think Silverlight may
be the tool but I sure have not found any examples I could understand
yet.
