Playing external sound files
To play external sound files that aren't cast members:
Use the sound playFile
command. See sound playFile
.
Playing external sound files from disk minimizes the amount of RAM used to play sounds. However, since the computer can read only one item from disk at a time, loading cast members or playing more than one sound from disk can cause unacceptable pauses when you use the sound playFile
command.
