Is Accessibility still this bad?

I just read this about accessibility:

http://joshblog.net/2007/08/15/no-documentation-for-flash-and-flex-component-accessibility/

I've been asking people about why they would ever use HTML over Flex, and most people complain either about Accessibility, Text processing (how performant is the text engine), and crashing 80's computers.

Question is, is Accessibility going to be improved in Spark?  or Flex 4?  Or what are the plans with that?

Thanks!

Lance

We are making sure that the Spark components will be accessible, but

as the Player is primarily providing building blocks, it does take

developer effort to make an application truly accessible. We have

guidelines on our accessibility page on adobe.com/products/

accessibility (I think that's the url). We are working with the

Player team to try to improve the APIs and interaction with the OS in

a future Player at whcih point Flex will be able to improve as well.

Thanks for letting us know Matt.  Looking forward to trying to implement some of that stuff soon.
