Using actions to control tracks
Actions for setting movie properties
Use the following actions to set movie properties:
Movie Set Volume
Sets the audio volume of the movie. You can set the volume level between 0 (minimum) and 255
(maximum).
Movie Set Rate
Sets the movie’s playback speed: 1 for normal speed, 2 for double speed, 0 to stop, -1 or -2 and less
to play the movie backward.
Movie Set Looping Flags
Sets the looping mode for movie playback:
•
None
Plays the complete movie once and then stops.
•
Loop
Plays the complete movie from beginning to end repeatedly.
• Loop and Palindrome
Play the complete movie forward and then backward repeatedly.
Movie GoTo Time Jumps to the time you enter in the Movie Time box.
Movie GoTo Beginning Jumps to the beginning of the movie.
Movie GoTo End
Jumps to the end of the movie.
Movie Step Forward
Advances the movie one frame at a time.
Movie Step Backward Rewinds the movie one frame at a time.
Movie Set Selection Selects part of the movie based on the times you enter in the Start Time and End Time boxes.
Click the Get Current Selection button to start the time range at the point of the current play selection.
Movie Set Play Selection Enables the Play Selection specified by the Movie Set Selection action. This option lets
you toggle the play selection on and off. To actually play the movie, use the Movie Set Rate action.
Music Play Note Plays a (MIDI) note with a sound specified in an Instrument Track.
Set Child Movie URL and Load Child Movie
Use these two actions together. Set Child Movie URL specifies a URL
for a movie without loading it, so you don’t see any visible effect with this action applied alone. Load Child Movie
loads the URL you specified with the Set Child Movie URL action, and the result is that the changed content is visible.
Use these actions to change a movie track’s content while the movie is running, such as when a viewer clicks a sprite.
GoTo URL Jumps the sprite to the specified URL. (This action is global; that is, it doesn’t control the movie playback
window.) The Link box lets you specify a web page. The Target box and menu are only for an embedded GoTo URL
action from within a movie in a web page.
