I'll admit I'm somewhat of an ostrich where this stuff is concerned. If I
don't have a need, I ignore it. What are RSS feeds. Jaws announces this
phrase all the time and I ignore it.

We have been struggling with this for at least three years. Sometimes I
could find the combination, which might include right arrowing into
seemingly empty space to a little picture of a speaker to get the sample
to
play only to have the procedure change the next week. This right mouse
button clicking has been the longest-lasting so far.
Actually if one subscribes to the RSS feeds, the samples work there
effortlessly.

Karen,
It looks like the suggestion to use a Right Mouse Click on the Sample
Button and then choose Play from the resulting menu works for the books
on
the Best Sellers page. Audible must be doing something different with
some
of these Flash objects since Spacebar works sometimes and sometimes it
doesn't. Maybe we should just get used to right mouse clicking and using
the context menu every time.

Subject: More about flash
Sitting here trying to figure this out, I find something very odd.
I'm
working with Audible.com on the "Audible Best Sellers" page, if that
matters
to anyone.
If I go to the search box at the top of the page and turn forms
mode
on and then simply start tabbing through the page, it lands on all links,
of
course but if I make it through the page, eventually I come to the sample
buttons. Now, JAWS announces "Sample of audio book button plug in type
equals object". I can press enter and activate the button. Once forms
mode
is off, though, the "plug in type equals object" is no longer announced
and
I can no longer activate the button.
I've looked through the settings list and I don't see anything that
intuitively strikes me as the problem. Any more words of wisdom?
Thanks for the time and thoughts.
Karen

While in Audible.com,
1. press insert plus v
2. type fl for flash movie recognize on
3. if it is not, press space to set recognize on.
4. press enter to save that setting.
5. press b to find one or more flash buttons.
6. when you reach the desired button, press space.
I just tested this on Audible, and it worked.

Subject: New here with a JAWS question
Hello,
My name is Karen. If anyone can help with this question, I'd
appreciate it.
On a variety of web sites JAWS says:
Flash Movie Start
(button I want to activate)
and then
Flash Movie End
My sighted husband can come in, use the mouse and click the
button
yet no matter how hard I try using virtual, PC and mouse cursor, I can't
activate the button
Examples of what I'm talking about:
On Audible.com many of the book selections have "sample" button
so
that a small section of the book can be heard. These sample of book
buttons
are surrounded, according to JAWS with "Flash Movie Start" and :"Flash
Movie
End".
Anyone?
Thank you.
