Director and Shockwave Player, the solution for designing magnetic internet destinations and powerful multimedia, provides support for accessible content through the following features:
Scalable Presentations
Shockwave Player content enlarges and reduces in size. Director developers can publish content to enlarge to the full window of a browser as needed. Individuals with visual disabilities can then select the largest view or choose to minimize the Shockwave content as desired.

Content Controls
Shockwave Player allows developers to provide a control menu for users so that they can stop, pause, fast forward or rewind Shockwave content. Individuals with various disabilities can use these features to magnify or replay content as needed.

Alternate Text
Director allows developers to provide text representations for browsers that do not support Shockwave Player content. The alternate text generated by this feature can be understood by assistive devices that are otherwise unable to understand Shockwave Player content.

Customized Color Swatches
In Director, designers can easily create and share custom color swatch panels to ensure proper contrast in hue and saturation for Web graphics. Web graphics, particularly text, require adequate contrast between foreground and background in order to be more easily interpreted by those with some visual limitations.
