Camera.onStatus 191
Camera.onStatus
Availability
Flash Player 6.
Usage
active_cam.onStatus = function(infoObject:Object) : Void {
// your statements here
}
Parameters
infoObject
A parameter defined according to the status message.
Returns
Nothing.
Description
Event handler; invoked when the user allows or denies access to the camera. If you want to
respond to this event handler, you must create a function to process the information object
generated by the camera.
When a SWF file tries to access the camera, Flash Player displays a Privacy dialog box that lets the
user choose whether to allow or deny access.
• If the user allows access, the Camera.muted property is set to false, and this handler is
invoked with an information object whose
code property is "Camera.Unmuted" and whose
level property is "Status".
• If the user denies access, the Camera.muted property is set to true, and this handler is invoked
with an information object whose
code property is "Camera.Muted" and whose level
property is
"Status".
To determine whether the user has denied or allowed access to the camera without processing this
event handler, use the
Camera.muted property.
Note: If the user chooses to permanently allow or deny access for all SWF files from a specified
domain, this handler is not invoked for SWF files from that domain unless the user later changes the
privacy setting. For more information, see
Camera.get().
Example
The following ActionScript is used to display a message whenever the user allows or denies access
to the camera:
var my_cam:Camera = Camera.get();
var my_video:Video;
my_video.attachVideo(my_cam);
my_cam.onStatus = function(infoObj:Object) {
switch (infoObj.code) {
case 'Camera.Muted' :
trace("Camera access is denied");
break;
case 'Camera.Unmuted' :
