Flash Based Controls Aren't Accessible

[Elshara]

Flash based controls aren't accessible if they fall below a certain width or height. I'm not exactly sure what the width or height is, but making both larger makes flash controls accessible and clickable without issue.
This needs to be fixed so that all widths and sizes are clickable through NVDA.

@jcsteh Umm, why is this ticket blocked but not closed?
@Elshara Regardless, could you please provide a test case for this issue where there are both Flash based controls of a width/height you consider accessible as well as their inaccessible counterparts with a lesser width/height? You may need to provide more detailed information for your issue to be diagnosed thoroughly.
As a side note though, Flash shall be discontinued in 2020 by Adobe, if I am not wrong, making Flash accessibility a drastically lower priority for not only NVDA developers but also users, and thus, this ticket might not witness active investigation.

This is blocked because the reporter needs to provide additional info before this issue can be considered valid. However, it seems I either forgot to comment or my comment didn't submit for some reason. :(

@@Elshara, please provide the info requested by bhavyashah above. Thanks.

Triage note: we should close this within a few weeks if the required information is not provided.

Closing, because the reporter has not provided us with the requested information.

A perfect example of this use case scenario is:

Click allow to use flash and then try to navigate.
Another use case is:

Look for embedded objects. You may have to click allow.

@Elshara in your first example the controls are actually accessible. In the second example there is a html5 object and not a flash object. This is also fully accessible.
Are you still having this issue though?

[Elshara]

You could say that yes. Especially with newer releases of NVDA, I'm finding no flash objects are accessible anymore. The browser just crashes when NVDA tries to interact with it.

Hello
Due to Flash support removal (#12207), this PR should probably closed with WONT FIX label.
