streamMode

Syntax

member(whichFlashMember).streamMode
the streamMode of member whichFlashMember

Description

Flash cast member property; controls the way a linked Flash movie cast member is streamed into memory, as follows:

#frame (default)—Streams part of the cast member each time the Director frame advances while the sprite is on the Stage.

#idle—Streams part of the cast member each time an idle event is generated or at least once per Director frame while the sprite is on the Stage.

#manual—Streams part of the cast member into memory only when the stream command is issued for that cast member.

This property can be tested and set.

Example

This startMovie script searches the internal cast for Flash movie cast members and sets their streamMode properties to #manual:

on startMovie
	repeat with i = 1 to the number of members of castLib 1
		if member(i, 1).type = #flash then
			member(i, 1).streamMode = #manual
		end if
	end repeat
end
