116 ActionScript language elements

After you specify an accessibility property, you can't revert its value to avalue set in the

Accessibility panel. However, you can set the property to itsdefault value (

false for Boolean

values; empty strings for stringvalues) by deleting the property from the

_accProps object, as

shownin the following example:

my_mc._accProps.silent = true; // set a property

// other code here

delete my_mc._accProps.silent; // revert to default value

The value of _accProps must be an object. This means that if no _accProps objectalready

exists, you must create one before you can assign clues to the propertiesof the

_accProps

object.

if (_accProps == undefined)

{

_accProps = new Object();

}

_accProps.name = "My movie";

Availability: ActionScript 1.0; Flash Player 6,0,65,0

Parameters

propertyName:Boolean or String - An accessibility property name (see the following

description for valid names).

instanceName

instanceName:String

- The instance name assigned to an instance of a movie clip, button,

dynamic text field, or input text field. To refer to the

_accProps object that represents the

entire Flash document, omit

instanceName.

Example

If you change an image and want to update its accessibility description, you can use the

following ActionScript code:

my_mc.gotoAndStop(2);

if (my_mc._accProps == undefined ) {

my_mc._accProps = new Object();

}

my_mc._accProps.name = "Photo of Mount Rushmore";

Accessibility.updateProperties();
