Cue Points and Captions in Flash Video

Abstract

As you do more and more work with Flash video in your professional life, you’ll be called upon to either work with cue points or add captions to a video for the hearing impaired. Until the release of Flash CS3, Flash video was generally regarded as a “nonaccessible” technology. In countries with stringent web accessibility laws governing web sites for those with physical disabilities, adding a video to one of these sites was not easy. This was a major impediment to the adoption of Flash video across government and publicly funded sites.
