A thought on Flash tooltips and accessibility

Posted on Thursday 24 February 2005

I use tooltips in many of my rich internet apps and I’ve been thinking that it would be a useful feature of the Flash IDE to be able to set tooltips for certain objects at design time. Now the accessibility panel has a ‘description’ field that might just do the job. Theoretically you could create a tooltip component that recursively reads _accProps.description in the movieclips on stage to create tooltips. In HTML, alt is used by screen readers and for tooltips, so why not in Flash? Anyone up to the challenge?
