    copied!<p>We are adapting our intranet web application to be WCAG 2.0 compliant. The app features a list of complex controls, but i am unable to get a screen read to read anything in the list but the labelDisplay or whats is returned by the labelFunction of the list.</p> <p>below is a boiled down example, "labelOne" is read by the screen reader and the listBox, and the result of the labelFunction for each item in the list.</p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0"?&gt; &lt;s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009" xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark" xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx" xmlns:access="accessibility.*"&gt; &lt;fx:Script&gt;&lt;![CDATA[ private function listLabelFunction(item : Object) : String { return item.one; } ]]&gt;&lt;/fx:Script&gt; &lt;s:VGroup&gt; &lt;access:Label id="labelOne" text="This text will be read out!"/&gt; &lt;s:List hasFocusableChildren="true" labelFunction="listLabelFunction"&gt; &lt;s:itemRenderer&gt; &lt;fx:Component&gt; &lt;s:ItemRenderer&gt; &lt;fx:Script&gt;&lt;![CDATA[ import mx.controls.Alert; ]]&gt;&lt;/fx:Script&gt; &lt;s:HGroup id="hGroup"&gt; &lt;access:Label id="labelDisplay" text="{data.one}"/&gt; &lt;access:Label id="labelTwo" text="{data.two}"/&gt; &lt;s:Button id="button" label="{data.button}" click="Alert.show('Ok!')"/&gt; &lt;/s:HGroup&gt; &lt;/s:ItemRenderer&gt; &lt;/fx:Component&gt; &lt;/s:itemRenderer&gt; &lt;s:dataProvider&gt; &lt;mx:ArrayCollection&gt; &lt;fx:Object one="one" two="two" button="ok"/&gt; &lt;fx:Object one="une" two="deux" button="ok"/&gt; &lt;fx:Object one="uno" two="due" button="ok"/&gt; &lt;fx:Object one="um" two="dois" button="ok"/&gt; &lt;/mx:ArrayCollection&gt; &lt;/s:dataProvider&gt; &lt;/s:List&gt; &lt;/s:VGroup&gt; &lt;/s:Application&gt; </code></pre> <p>"access label"; ensures the label is read out and is in the tab order.</p> <pre><code>package accessibility { import mx.managers.IFocusManagerComponent; import spark.components.Label; public class Label extends spark.components.Label implements IFocusManagerComponent { } } </code></pre> <p>I am able to tab too each item in the list, ie "labelDisplay", "labelTwo" and "button", but the screen reader does not read them out.</p> <p>Is it possible to get each label and button read out?</p>
