| The flash player has the following components:
Subtitles: If a video has subtitles then the subtitles are placed at the top of the video. The subtitles section begins with the text "subtitles start" followed by two lines of subtitles and end with the text "subtitles end". If the subtitles are on, the screen reader should say "Subtitles Loaded". If the subtitles are off, press the "Subtitles Unloaded" button, the button should change to "Subtitles Loading". Then after two seconds or so it should speak "Subtitles Loaded". From that point on the subtitles will appear at the beginning of the Flash player. Play/pause button: The button text toggles based on the current status of the video. Seek slider: The seek slider is used to fast forward or rewind the video and to increase or decrease the volume. To use the seek slider, first turn off virtual cursor then tab to the slider. Use left/right arrow keys to fast forward/rewind the video and use the up/down arrow keys to increase/decrease volume. Mute/unmute: This button toggles depending on whether the video is muted or not muted. 360p button: This button changes the quality of the video in terms of pixels. Here are the available resolutions: 1080p, 720p, 480p, 360p (default), 240p, 240p Light Pop-out button: The pop-out button creates a new browser window and places only the player with the video that is currently playing. It leaves out all the content that is outside the actual player. This allows users to resize the player any way they like. lightbulb icon The button is also useful for blind users who might want to get rid of all the extra elements in the HTML page around the player and be left just with the player on its own. Its important to note, that if you have pop-up blocker enabled, then you'll need to disable the pop-up blocker in order to open this new window. Expand/Shrink button: The label of the button toggles depending on the current selection. Clicking the expand/shrink button makes the video player larger and smaller. This button also increases the video quality when you expand the player, and uses a lower quality when you shrink it if the video has multiple qualities. Time elapsed/total duration: This section shows the total time elapsed over the total duration of the video. It shows you how much of the video has played already and how much there's still left to play. Note: To replay the video, click on the "play" button after the video stops playing. |
