Adobe Flash

The doit.maryland.gov web site uses Adobe Flash for presentation of information in the montage area.  This functionality has been developed with the built in accessibility features of Flash and tested using the JAWS Screen Reader (ver. 9.0).  In order to access these features you need to use Adobe Flash Player 9.  However, if the site detects that a user does not have the Flash Player, the montage will default to a static image and allow users to cycle through that area of the site.
