System.capabilities.localFileReadDisable
Availability
Flash Player 7.
Usage
System.capabilities.localFileReadDisable:Boolean
Description
Read-only property; a Boolean value that indicates whether read access to the user’s hard disk has
been administratively prohibited (
true) or allowed (false). If set to true, Flash Player will be
unable to read files (including the first SWF file that Flash Player launches with) from the user’s
hard disk. For example, attempts to read a file on the user’s hard disk using
XML.load(),
LoadMovie(), or LoadVars.load() will fail if this property is set to true.
Reading runtime shared libraries will also be blocked if this property is set to
true, but reading
local shared objects is allowed without regard to the value of this property. The server string is
LFD.
Example
The following example traces the value of this read-only property:
trace(System.capabilities.localFileReadDisable);
