Property
description
shortcut
* For the Shortcut field, use names of the form Control+A. Adding a keyboard shortcut to the Accessibility panel
doesn't create a keyboard shortcut; it merely advises screen readers of an existing shortcut. For information on
assigning a keyboard shortcut to an accessible object, see Key.addListener().
To specify settings that correspond to the Tab index setting in the Accessibility panel, use the
Button.tabIndex
There is no way to specify an Auto Label setting at runtime.
To refer to the
_accProps
parameter. The value of
instanceName
object already exists, you must create one, as shown in the following example, before
_accProps
you can assign values to the properties of the
if ( _accProps == undefined ) {
_accProps = new Object();
}
_accProps.name = "My SWF file";
When
_accProps
properties apply to the whole SWF file. For example, the following code sets the Accessibility
property for the whole SWF file to the string
name
Accessibility.updateProperties()
_accProps.name = "Pet Store";
Accessibility.updateProperties();
In contrast, the following code sets the
to the string
price_mc
price_mc._accProps.name = "Price";
Accessibility.updateProperties();
If you are specifying several accessibility properties, make as many changes as you can
before calling
Accessibility.updateProperties()
property statement, as shown in the following example:
_accProps.name = "Pet Store";
animal_mc._accProps.name = "Animal";
animal_mc._accProps.description = "Cat, dog, fish, etc.";
price_mc._accProps.name = "Price";
price_mc._accProps.description = "Cost of a single item";
Accessibility.updateProperties();
