Usage

public static names : Array {read-only]

Description

Class property (read-only); retrieves an array of strings reflecting the names of all available 
sound capture devices without displaying the Flash Player Privacy dialog box. This array 
behaves the same as any other ActionScript array, implicitly providing the zero-based index of 
each sound capture device and the number of sound capture devices on the system (by means 
of 

Microphone.names.length

). For more information, see the Array class entry in 

ActionScript 2.0 Language Reference. 

Calling 

Microphone.names

 requires an extensive examination of the hardware, and it may 

take several seconds to build the array. In most cases, you can just use the default microphone.

NO

TE

The correct syntax is 

Microphone.names

. To assign the return value to a variable, use 

syntax like 

var micNames_array:Array

 = 

Microphone.names

. To determine the name of 

the current microphone, use 

.

name

, where 

 is the variable to which 

you assigned the results of 

Microphone.get()

.
