preLoadBuffer()

Syntax

member(whichCastMember).preLoadBuffer()
preLoadBuffer member whichCastMember

Description

Command; preloads part of a specified Shockwave Audio (SWA) file into memory. The amount preloaded is determined by the preLoadTime property. This command works only if the SWA cast member is stopped.

When the preLoadBuffer() command succeeds, the state member property equals 2.

Most SWA cast member properties can be tested only after the preLoadBuffer() command has completed successfully. These properties include: cuePointNames, cuePointTimes, currentTime, duration, percentPlayed, percentStreamed, bitRate, sampleRate, and numChannels.

Example

This statement loads the cast member Mel Torme into memory:

member("Mel Torme").preLoadBuffer()
