Set 'tabindex' on SWF <object>, so tabbing into the player works.

Description (last modified by jeroen) (diff)

Important enhancement for accessibility. It makes the player useful for screenreaders beyond IE:

  • Set tabindex to the <object> tag
  • Blur <object> tag if you leave the first or last button (through javascript function)

Less critical:

  • Show controlbar when 'keydown'. Just in case it is set as "over"
  • Hide controlbar when you leave it. Just in case it is set as "over"

Pablo, can you look into this feature for 5.6?

It's quite an interesting case, and we can now support it b/c we have our own embedder.
