Right-click and accessibility

Has there been any change in the right-click problem?  As I understand it, you need Accessibility cleared in order to use right-click.  Is there a way to make a course 508 compliant and still use the right-click?

Yes. DON'T publish it as SWF.  Publish ONLY to HTML5. 

The right-click issue in previous years was always related to using SWF output and it was due to the fact that SWF content hijacks the right-click mouse event to show the context menu for the Flash Player options.

If you're NOT using SWF, then the right-click should work as it would for any normal HTML content.
