Value passed for panel | Settings panel displayed
--- | ---
None (parameter is omitted) | Whichever panel was open the last time the user closed the Player Settings panel
0 | Privacy
1 | Local Storage
2 | Microphone
3 | Camera

#### Returns

#### Description

Method; displays the specified Flash Player Settings panel, which lets users do any of the following:

- Allow or deny access to the camera and microphone
- Specify settings for local disk space available for shared objects
- Select a default camera and microphone
- Specify microphone gain and echo suppression settings

For example, if your application requires the use of a camera, you can tell the user to select Allow in the Privacy Settings panel, and then issue a `System.showSettings(0)` command. (Make sure your Stage size is at least 215 x 138 pixels; this is the minimum size Flash requires to display the panel.)
