Hide an object from the screen reader

You can hide a selected object from screen readers, and you can decide to hide accessible objects that are contained inside a movie clip or Flash application and expose only the movie clip or Flash application to screen readers.
Note: Only hide objects that are repetitive or convey no content.

When an object is hidden, the screen reader ignores the object.

  1. On the Stage, select the button or input text field to hide from the screen reader.
  2. Select Window > Other Panels > Accessibility.
  3. In the Accessibility panel, do one of the following:

    • If the object is a movie clip, button, text field, or another object, deselect Make Object Accessible.

    • If the object is the child of a movie clip, deselect Make Child Objects Accessible.
