Forcing the Player Settings panel to
appear
When an application tries to access the user’s camera or microphone, or to save data on the
client computer, Flash Player displays the Player Settings dialog boxes to obtain permission.
You can also open the Player Settings panels by right-clicking (Windows) or Control-clicking
(Macintosh) on the player Stage. To force the Player Settings panels to appear, use the
following code:
// Opens the panel the user viewed last.
System.ShowSettings();
// Opens the Privacy panel.
System.ShowSettings(0);
// Opens the Local Storage panel.
System.ShowSettings(1);
// Opens the Microphone panel.
System.ShowSettings(2);
// Opens the Camera panel.
System.ShowSettings(3);
For example, if your application requires the use of a camera, you can inform the user that
they must select Allow in the Privacy Settings panel, and then issue a
System.showSettings(0)
command. (Make sure your Stage size is at least
215 by 138 pixels; this is the minimum size that Flash requires to display the panel.) For more
information, see the
System.showSettings()
entry in the Client-Side ActionScript Language
Reference for Flash Media Server 2.
