ASTRA AudioPlayback

AudioPlayback is a UI component that creates a set of controls for audio playback.

Accessibility

AudioPlayback allows play and pause, volume control, and mute functionality via the keyboard. It will also read the details of the currently loaded track.

Limitations

There is no playback component specified in MSAA for Flash Player. Therefore AudioPlayback is a composite accessibility implementation, using a few custom controls along with buttons. Currently there is no means of fast-forwarding or rewinding using the keyboard.

Enabling Accessibility

To enable accessibility, do the following:

Sample Accessible Application

Below is an embedded application built to showcase accessibility. To experience this application properly, you must have a screen reader installed and be familiar with how to use it. Accessibility was developed with JAWS for Windows as the primary screen reader. Installing the JAWS Flex Scripts is highly recommended to obtain the most reliable results.

This example requires Adobe Flash Player.
