Using Lingo or JavaScript syntax sound elements with
RealMedia
All the Lingo or JavaScript syntax elements in this section are documented in the main Director
Scripting Reference and are discussed here only as they pertain to working with RealMedia content.
For complete information, see the Director Scripting Reference.
Supported sound elements
The following Lingo or JavaScript syntax elements operate on a sound channel and are fully
supported for sound channels playing the audio portion of a RealMedia cast member:
•
elapsedTime
•
fadeIn()
•
fadeOut()
•
fadeTo()
•
pan (Sound Channel)
•
soundBusy()
Although you can use the following Lingo or JavaScript syntax elements with a RealMedia cast
member, they cause problems when used on a sound channel. For example, you can use
member("Real").stop()
but should not use
sound( whichChannel ).stop()
if the audio
portion of a RealMedia cast member uses
whichChannel
.
•
member
(sound property)
•
pause()
•
play()
•
stop()
You can use the following property on a sound channel playing the audio portion of a RealMedia
stream but not directly on a RealMedia cast member. For example, you can use
sound( whichChannel ).volume = 200
, but not
member("Real").volume = 200
.
•
volume
You can set the system variable
soundEnabled
to
FALSE
to turn off RealAudio, but if you reset it
to
TRUE
, you must also call the
play
method to resume playback.
