952 Chapter 14: Properties

renderer

Usage

getRendererServices().renderer

Description

3D property; allows you to get or set the current renderer in use by a movie. The range of values

for this property is determined by the list of available renderers returned by the Renderer Services

object’s

rendererDeviceList property.

Shockwave Player users have the option of specifying the renderer of their choice using the 3D

Renderer context menu in Shockwave Player. If the user selects the “Obey content settings”

option, the renderer specified by the

renderer or preferred3DRenderer properties is used to

draw the movie (if available on the users system), otherwise the renderer selected by the user

is used.

The default value for this property is determined by the

preferred3DRenderer property.

This property returns the same value as returned by the movie property

the active3dRenderer.

Example

This statement shows that the renderer currently being used by the user’s system is #openGL:

put getRendererServices().renderer

-- #openGL
