# Microphone.onStatus

#### Availability

Flash Player 6.

#### Usage

    activeMicrophone.onStatus = function(infoObject) {
    	// Your code here
    }

#### Parameters

`infoObject` A parameter defined according to the status message.

#### Returns

Nothing.

#### Description

Event handler; invoked when the user allows or denies access to the microphone. If you want to respond to this event handler, you must create a function to process the information object generated by the microphone.

When a movie tries to access the microphone, the Flash Player displays a Privacy dialog box that lets the user choose whether to allow or deny access.

- If the user allows access, the Microphone.muted property is set to `false`, and this event handler is invoked with an information object whose `code` property is `Microphone.Unmuted`.
- If the user denies access, the Microphone.muted property is set to `true`, and this event handler is invoked with an information object whose `code` property is `Microphone.Muted`.

To determine whether the user has denied or allowed access to the microphone without processing this event handler, use Microphone.muted.

Note: If the user chooses to permanently allow or deny access for all movies from a specified domain, this method is not invoked for movies from that domain unless the user later changes the privacy setting. For more information, see Microphone.get().

#### Example

See the example for `Camera.onStatus`.
