"Settings" menu item disabled - why????

i have a flash app which does audio recording via our fms server at influxis.com. so i do the usual stuff like try and open a microphone etc. when the app first loads it tries to find a mic, but the microphone library says the mic is muted. also, when i right-click on the app, the "Settings..." menu item is disabled. why? normally the user could select a mic to use via this dialog box. the only way to get it working is to open up another app that does video recording, right-click, select "Settings" (not disabled for this app!) then set the microphone settings.

my big question is why the "settings" menu item is disabled for my app???

any help greatly appreciated

Hi bhu,

I've also been curious about this so I asked around. It appears that there is a minimum width and height requirement for the settings dialog to be enabled. Try setting your swf width >= 215px and height >= 138px.

Thanks,

Chris

thanks for that chris!

it's amazing, this issue has been hounding me for weeks, i have trawled the net to no avail, and yesterday afternoon, a few hours after posting, i came across a blog somewhere that posited this solution - i fired up flash, bumped up the height of my app, and hey presto! it worked! and this is exactly what you have found out too!

a bit obscure, but at least i know now what is going on!

thanks for asking around and finding out, and best of all i now know the exact minimum dimensions!

do you think this fact should be put somewhere in the as3 online doco? i reckon mention of it on a few pages like Microphone and Video classes could be very useful....

cheers!

I'm glad it helped! I agree and I've forwarded this info along to our docs team.
