symbolInstance.forceSimple
Availability
Flash MX 2004.
Usage
symbolInstance.forceSimple
Description
Property; a Boolean value that enables and disables the accessibility of the object’s children.
This property is equivalent to the inverse logic of the Make Child Objects Accessible setting
in the Accessibility panel. For example, if
forceSimple
is
true
, it is the same as the Make
Child Object Accessible option being unchecked. If
forceSimple
is
false
, it is the same as
the Make Child Object Accessible option being checked.
This property is available only for movie clip objects.
Example
The following example checks to see if the children of the object are accessible; a return value
of
false
means the children are accessible:
var areChildrenAccessible = fl.getDocumentDOM().selection[0].forceSimple;
The following example allows the children of the object to be accessible:
fl.getDocumentDOM().selection[0].forceSimple = false;
