# Microphone.muted

#### Availability

Flash Player 6.

#### Usage

    activeMicrophone.muted

#### Description

Read-only property; a Boolean value that specifies whether the user has denied access to the microphone (`true`) or allowed access (`false`). When this value changes, Microphone.onStatus is invoked. For more information, see Microphone.get().

#### Example

In the following example, when the user clicks the button, Flash publishes and plays a live stream if the microphone is not muted.

    on (press)
    {
    	// If the user mutes microphone, display offline notice.
    	// Else, publish and play live stream from microphone.
    	if(myMic.muted) {
    		_root.debugWindow+="Microphone offline." + newline;
    	} else {

    		// Publish the microphone data by calling
    		// the root function pubLive().
    		_root.pubLive();

    		// Play what is being published by calling
    		// the root function playLive().
    		_root.playLive();
    	}
    }
