I've written a flex application that I'm making accessible.  My application at 
times needs to tell jaws to read it's full content, similar to loading a new 
page in IE.  From flash/flex I can send just about any MSAA event.  My question 
is is there a way in a jaws script to capture any MSAA event and do something.  
Or can you only use certain events that jaws is listening for.
 
I have another case where I display a kindof dialog.  I was going to send the 
DIALOG_START event, but I'm not sure where I would deal with that in my 
jawscript.  Any insight on doing custom things like this would be appreciated.  
There doesn't seem to be a lot of info out there except in this forum.
 
Thanks.

Subject: Accessing MSAA objects by index



I'm writing a JAWs script where I get the count of children in an object, and I 
want to analyze them.  I read in another post that you can do something like 
this.

 

Let n = obj.accChildCount

 

And then from 1 to n do

 

Let o = obj(number)

 

However, when I do this, o does not seem to contain anything.

 

I looked at other uses of .accChildCount and in other places it seems that they 
assume childIDs are integers from 1 to n, but in my case that's not true.

 

Is there a way to access the children objects just based on their position in 
the list?
