setPref() 537

Description

Flash sprite command; invokes the Flash Settings dialog box to the specified panel index. This is

the same dialog box that can be opened by right-clicking (Windows) or Control-clicking

(Macintosh) on a Flash movie playing in a browser.

The Settings dialog box will not be displayed if the Flash sprite’s rectangle is not large enough to

accommodate it.

If you want to emulate the Flash Player by invoking the Settings dialog box when a user right-

clicks (Windows) or Control-clicks (Macintosh), you can use this command in a

mouseDown

handler that tests for the

rightMouseDown property or the controlDown property.

In order to emulate the Flash Player by enabling the Settings dialog box in a Director movie

running in a browser, you must first disable the Shockwave Player context menu that is available

by right-clicking (Windows) or Control-clicking (Macintosh) on a movie with Shockwave

content playing in a browser. For information on how to disable this menu, see the Using

Director topics in the Director Help Panel.

Parameters

Optional. Specifies which panel to activate when the dialog box is opened.

Valid values are 0, 1, 2, or 3. A value of 0 opens the dialog box showing the Privacy tab, a value of

1 opens it showing the Local Storage tab, a value of 2 opens it showing the Microphone tab, and

a value of 3 opens it showing the Camera tab. The default panel index is 0.
