getAccessibleActionCount

public abstract int getAccessibleActionCount()

the zero-based number of Actions in this object

doAccessibleAction

public abstract boolean doAccessibleAction(int i)

Performs the specified Action on the object

Specified by:
doAccessibleAction in interface AccessibleAction

getAccessibleActionDescription

public abstract String getAccessibleActionDescription(int i)

Returns a String description of this particular link action. This should be a text string associated with anchoring text, this should be the anchor text. E.g. from HTML: <a HREF="http://www.sun.com/access">Accessibility</a> this method would return "Accessibility".
