I'm building a course in Articulate Storyline 360 and publishing that in Flash only output. But while testing it with JAWS reader v18, the up/down arrow keys are not working to focus the content within slide. I'm aware that Tab key is used to focus content or UI element but I still want Up/Down arrow keys to navigate content.
Can it be possible to make this work in Storyline 360 + JAWS reader?
I'm actually working towards A and AA level of accessible course.
My guess is that he means when you place any image or insert a shape, those objects by default are checked ON for accessibility and have a generic Alt Text of the object name. Like if you insert a rectangle as a background shape, the Alt Text might be, "Rectangle 23" or whatever default name is applied on creation. So, you need to right-click that rectangle shape, click Accessibility from the context menu, then uncheck the alt text to be ignored.
If you have a lot of these shapes/images/whatever throughout, you really need to be on your toes to catch them all if left checked on.
I personally just ctrl-A to select everything on screen and turn accessibility off for everything at once, then go back and identify/turn on accessibility for the items I want.

Interesting idea.
