50 Client-Side ActionScript Language Reference

When a SWF file tries to access the microphone, Flash Player displays a Privacy dialog box

that lets the user choose whether to allow or deny access.

■ If the user allows access, the Microphone.muted property is set to false, and this event

handler is invoked with an information object whose

code property is

Microphone.Unmuted.

■ If the user denies access, the Microphone.muted property is set to true, and this event

handler is invoked with an information object whose

code property is

Microphone.Muted.

To determine whether the user has denied or allowed access to the microphone without

processing this event handler, use

Microphone.muted.

Example

The following example launches the Privacy dialog box, where the user can allow or deny

access to the microphone. If the user chooses to deny access, “muted” is displayed in large red

text. If microphone access is allowed, the user does not see this text.

this.createTextField("muted_txt", this.getNextHighestDepth(), 10, 10, 100,

22);

muted_txt.autoSize = true;

muted_txt.html = true;

muted_txt.selectable = false;

muted_txt.htmlText = "<a href=\"asfunction:System.showSettings\">Click

Here</a> to Allow/Deny access.";

this.createEmptyMovieClip("sound_mc", this.getNextHighestDepth());

var active_mic:Microphone = Microphone.get();

sound_mc.attachAudio(active_mic);

active_mic.onStatus = function(infoObj:Object) {

status_txt._visible = active_mic.muted;

muted_txt.htmlText = "Status: <a

href=\"asfunction:System.showSettings\">"+infoObj.code+"</a>";

};

this.createTextField("status_txt", this.getNextHighestDepth(), 0, 0, 100,

22);

status_txt.html = true;

status_txt.autoSize = true;

status_txt.htmlText = "muted";

status_txt._x = (Stage.width-status_txt._width)/2;

status_txt._y = (Stage.height-status_txt._height)/2;

status_txt._visible = active_mic.muted;

NOTE

If the user chooses to permanently allow or deny access for all SWF files from a

specified domain, this method is not invoked for SWF files from that domain unless the

user later changes the privacy setting. For more information, see

Microphone.get().
