class spark.accessibility.NumericStepperAccImpl

This is the accessibility implementation class for spark.components.NumericStepper. When a Spark NumericStepper is created, its accessibilityImplementation property is set to an instance of this class. The Flash Player then uses this class to allow MSAA clients such as screen readers to see and manipulate the NumericStepper. See the mx.accessibility.AccImpl and flash.accessibility.AccessibilityImplementation classes for background information about accessibility implementation classes and MSAA.

Children

A NumericStepper has two MSAA children:

1. Increment button
2. Decrement button

Role

The MSAA Role of a NumericStepper is ROLE_SYSTEM_TEXT.

The Role of each child button is ROLE_SYSTEM_PUSHBUTTON.

Name

The MSAA Name of a NumericStepper is, by default, an empty string. When wrapped in a FormItem element, the Name is the FormItem's label. To override this behavior, set the NumbericStepper's accessibilityName property.

The Name of each child button is:

1. "More"
2. "Less"

When the Name of the NumericStepper or one of its child button changes, a NumericStepper dispatches the MSAA event EVENT_OBJECT_NAMECHANGE with the proper childID for the button or 0 for itself.

Description

The MSAA Description of a NumericStepper is, by default, an empty string, but you can set the NumericStepper's accessibilityDescription property.

The Descriptino of each child button is the empty string.

State

The MSAA State of a NumericStepper is a combination of:

• STATE_SYSTEM_UNAVAILABLE (when enabled is false)
• STATE_SYSTEM_FOCUSABLE (when enabled is true)
• STATE_SYSTEM_FOCUSED (when enabled is true and the Spinner has focus)

The State of each child button is <tbd>.</tbd>

When the State of the NumericStepper or one of its child buttons changes, a NumericStepper dispatches the MSAA event EVENT_OBJECT_STATECHANGE with the proper childID for the button or 0 for itself.

Value

The MSAA Value of a NumericStepper is the value currently held by the NumericStepper.

The child buttons do not have MSAA values.

When the Value of the NumericStepper changes, the NumericStepper dispatches the MSAA event EVENT_OBJECT_VALUECHANGE.

Location

The MSAA Location of a NumericStepper, or one of its child buttons, is its bounding rectangle.

Default Action

A NumericStepper does not have an MSAA DefaultAction.

The DefaultAction of each child buttons is "Press".

Performing the default action of one of the child buttons will increment or decrement the value.

Focus

The NumericStepper can be focused, in which case an EVENT_OBJECT_FOCUS event is fired.

Selection

The NumericStepper does not support MSAA selection
