This technique relates to:
See User Agent Support for Flash for general information on user agent support.
The objective of this technique is to provide a clear indication that a specific form control in a Web application or form is required for successful data submission. The word "required" is added to the form control's accessible name, and a visual indicator is placed next to the label.
This example shows how to use the Accessibility panel to indicate a field as being 'required' to users:
Visually, place asterisk character or some other indication adjacent to the form control's label.
Use the accessibility panel to combine the word "required" with the control's label in the "Name" field.
This approach is illustrated in the screenshot below:
This is demonstrated in the working example of Adding the word "required" to the control's accessible name. The source of Adding the word "required" to the control's accessible name is available.
For each required form control within a Flash movie, confirm that:
The required state is indicated visually
The required state is indicated textually using the 'Name' field in the accessibility panel
Each of the above is true
