Video and other flash players
Our video players are provide by third parties such a YouTube. Their player can accept some keyboard instructions to opperate the video. Other uses of flash on our site can be to view documents. These are also provided by third parties.
While we cannot be responsible for the level of control you can expect from these providers we have detailed the way you can use your keyboard to control these videos and viewers. We always try to make our content as accessible as possible for all our users and appreciate any feedback you may have for us to improve.
Videos and other flash movies, like the document viewers can be viewed in full screen but you will need to exit full screen, by selecting Escape, in order to use the controls. This is for security reasons as Adobe Flash does not support keyboard access in full screen.
Due to the way browsers and Flash content work together we can only guarantee you can tab into and out of Flash content from HTML in Internet Explorer. Adobe, the creators of Flash, are looking at a solution for this and we are looking at ways we can address this too.
