Thanks for that. So really it is for multimedia purposes? So why would a site
which does not offer any media experiences use flash?

Hi Barbra.
What a question *smile*. Well, if you use the BBC IPlayer, YouTube and about
a dozen other popular websites that blind people visit, you'll not be able to
access the multimedia content that is offered if you disable flash. Of course,
that comes with a stick in that there are many websites that detect if you have
flash installed or enabled and then present a totally inaccessible or very
difficult user experience, for instance the Nokia PC Suite download page.
All the best, Ibrahim.

Hi All
I'm not a technical expert, so need some advice.
As a JAWS user I mostly have JAWS set to ignore flash on webpages, unless
it is necessary to change the setting to access the full features of a Website.
I was wondering what are the advantages of having flash on a Website? Are
they purely esthetic or are the advantages more than cosmetic?
