Camera, microphone, clipboard, mouse, and keyboard access
Flash Player 9 and later, Adobe AIR 1.0 and
later
|
When
a SWF file attempts to access a user's camera or microphone using
the
Camera.get()
or
Microphone.get()
methods,
Flash Player displays a Privacy dialog box, in which the user can
allow or deny access to their camera and microphone. The user and
the administrative user can also disable camera access on a per-site
or global basis, through controls in the mms.cfg file, the Settings
UI, and the Settings Manager (see
Administrator controls
and
User controls
). With user restrictions, the
Camera.get()
and
Microphone.get()
methods
each return a
null
value. You can use the
Capabilities.avHardwareDisable
property
to determine whether the camera and microphone have been administratively
prohibited (
true
) or allowed (
false
).
The
System.setClipboard()
method
allows a SWF file to replace the contents of the clipboard with
a plain-text string of characters. This poses no security risk.
To protect against the risk posed by passwords and other sensitive data
being cut or copied to clipboards, there is no corresponding
getClipboard()
method.
An application running in Flash Player can monitor only keyboard
and mouse events that occur within its focus. Content running in
Flash Player cannot detect keyboard or mouse events in another application.
