Just a brief correction--it's insert v not alt v.  Mark

  You can temporarily disable flash.

  1.  Hit alt+v to bring up the verbosity control.

  2.  Hit the letter "f" three times to get you to the flash control.

  3.  Hit the spacebar to toggle to flash off and hit enter to save the new 
setting.

  This will disable flash for the seession in which you are working.  You can 
disable flash more permanently in the configuration manager, but you may want 
to have flash for some items.  I suppose you could disable it in configuration 
manager and then use the same keystokes as set forth above to togle it on when 
you need it.

  Hi all: 

  as I have come to work with two different versions of JAWS and two different 
versions of IE on a daily basis, I've noticed that JAWS 6.2 and IE 6 behave 
much bettter when it comes to flash on pages. it seems that when you're 
navigating through a page with IE 6 and JAWS 6.2 that it let's you go passed 
the flash with no problem. however, when in IE 7 and JAWS 8 every time you 
encounter a page with flash and you try to go past it JAWS brings you back to 
the top of the page. a perfect example of this would be on the livejournal 
website, www.livejournal.com. sometimes people make voice posts, so there is a 
flash bit before the actual link to the voice post. does anyone know a way to 
make JAWS 8 and IE 7go passed the flash without bringing you constantly back to 
the top of the page?
