SymbolInstance object 427
Description
Property; a Boolean value that enables or disables the accessibility of the object. This property
is equivalent to the inverse logic of the Make Object Accessible setting in the Accessibility
panel. For example, if
silent
is
true
, it is the same as the Make Object Accessible option
being unchecked. If
silent
is
false
, it is the same as the Make Object Accessible option
being checked.
This property is not available for graphic objects.
Example
The following example checks to see if the object is accessible; a return value of
false
means
the object is accessible:
var isSilent = fl.getDocumentDOM().selection[0].silent;
The following example sets the object to be accessible:
fl.getDocumentDOM().selection[0].silent = false;
