ActionScript:

	import flash.external.*;

	public class MyButton extends Sprite() 
	{
		//Override the visible property to inform the screen reader when this object becomes visible
		override public function set visible(value : Boolean) : void 
		{
			super.visible = value;

if(Accessibility.active)
{
  Accessibility.updateProperties();
}


Note that the Accessibility.active value is set to true when any type
of assistive technology is connected and shouldn’t be relied upon to
determine if a screen reader is actually running.

myDisplayObject.buttonMode = true;

var accessibilityProperities = new AccessibilityProperties();

//The descriptive name to be read aloud by the screen reader or rendered in braille
accessibilityProperities.name = “My button”;
