FLfile.setAttributes(fileURI, strAttrs)
fileURI A string, expressed as a file:/// URI, specifying the file whose attributes you want to set.
strAttrs A string specifying values for the attribute(s) you want to set. For acceptable values for strAttrs, see the "Description" section below.
A Boolean value of true if successful. Note: Results are unpredictable if the file or folder doesn’t exist. You should use FLfile.exists() before using this method.
Method; specifies system-level attributes for the specified file. The following values are valid for strAttrs:
-
N — No specific attributes (not read-only, not hidden, and so on)
-
A — Ready for archiving (Windows only)
-
R — Read-only (on the Macintosh, read-only means "locked")
-
W — Writable (overrides R)
-
H — Hidden (Windows only)
-
V — Visible (overrides H, Windows only)
If you include both R and W in strAttrs, the R is ignored and the file is set as writable. Similarly, if you pass H and V, the H is ignored and the file is set as visible. If you want to make sure the archive attribute is not set, use this command with the N parameter before setting attributes. That is, there is no direct counterpart to A that turns off the archive attribute.
The following example sets the file mydata.txt to be read-only and hidden. It has no effect on the archive attribute.
var URI = "file:///c|/temp/mydata.txt";
if (FLfile.exists(URI)) {
FLfile.setAttributes(URI, "RH");
}
The following example sets the file mydata.txt to be read-only and hidden. It also ensures that the archive attribute is not set.
var URI = "file:///c|/temp/mydata.txt";
if (FLfile.exists(URI)) {
FLfile.setAttributes(URI, "N"); FLfile.setAttributes(URI, "RH");
}
