| capabilities.os Property | Flash 6 |
| indicates the operating system on which the Player is running | read/write | Description The string os property indicates the name of the operating system on which the Player is running. It provides more granular information than the getVersion( ) function, which does not distinguish between OS varieties such as "Windows 2000" and "Windows 98". The current values for os on Windows are: - Windows XP
- Windows 2000
- Windows NT
- Windows 98/ME
- Windows 95
- Windows CE
On Macintosh, os returns "MacOS x.y.z", where x is the major release, y is the minor release, and z is the dot release. For example: - MacOS 9.2.1
- MacOS 10.1.4
The corresponding server string for os is OS, with the preceding values listed for Windows or Macintosh or determined by individual manufacturers. See capabilities.serverString for details. Bugs Macromedia's documentation for Flash MX incorrectly claims that os defaults to an empty string. It defaults to the value appropriate for the OS under which the Player is running. See Also capabilities.version, capabilities.manufacturer |
