Hello,

is it possible to read and write from/to system local shared object?

let's say I want to set turn on microphone or turn off hardware acceleration with a single user click and without entering to the flash settings menu.

you can read and write to a sharedobject, but it's not clear how that's related to the flash settings menu.

Hi,

I specifically interested in turning on/off hardware acceleration with an actionscript.

I made lot's of tests and they show that hardware acceleration state is stored in the system lso. the only way to turn on/off hardware acceleration is to set/unset in the flash settings menu.

for Mac system lso is located in /Users/<username>/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player/macromedia.com/support/flashplayer/sys/settings.sol

SharedObject - Adobe ActionScript® 3 (AS3 ) API Reference does not mention how to work with system lso, so I was wondering whatever this is possible.

no, you can't open a sharedobject you didn't create. or, at least, that would thwart adobe's security features.
