Accessibility and Marker Animations

Does anyone know whether either the marker pulse or marker swirl would be considered a risk for individuals with seizure disorders? If so, has anyone figured out a different way to draw attention to...

Thanks Alyssa. 

That was our course of action, yes. To turn off the swirl/pulse completely.

The intent of my post with the Success Criterion 2.2.2 Pause, Stop, Hide information from WCAG was to make sure that all our fellow Storyline authors knew that even though the swirl and pulse satisfy the WCAG criteria that Crystal mentioned:

"Web pages do not contain anything that flashes more than three times in any one second period, or the flash is below the general flash and red flash thresholds."

Unfortunately, the same swirl and pulse animation for the markers fails to satisfy the WCAG criteria:

"...there is a mechanism for the user to pause, stop, or hide it."

    Hi Jeff. You raise valid concerns, and unfortunately, when I post about issues like this in the forum, I don't get results. Submitting a bug report is the only way I've been able to get Articulate to pay attention to the accessibility issues and other problems I have raised.
