Availability

Usage

Accessibility.updateProperties() : Void

Parameters

None.

Returns

Nothing.

Description

Method; causes all changes to _accProps (accessibility properties) objects to take effect. For

information on setting accessibility properties, see

_accProps.

If you modify the accessibility properties for multiple objects, only one call to

Accessibility.updateProperties() is necessary; multiple calls can result in reduced

performance and unintelligible screen reader results.

Example

If you change an image and want to update its accessible description, you could 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();
