Accessibility is often defined in terms of two distinct measures: compliance with standards and usability for people with disabilities. The first is more easily quantified — you read the standard, test the content, and determine if it passes. If all tests fare successfully, then the content is considered accessible. But the reality of accessibility is often more complex. The most common accessibility guidelines, Section 508 standards and World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, are written to support the accessibility of HTML content. While there are areas of overlap, the issues surrounding HTML and Flex accessibility are not one and the same. The techniques associated with some requirements are different in Flex. At the same time, there are issues associated with applications created with Flex that do not exist in HTML.
