Synchronizing media with Lingo

By writing Lingo that performs an action when a cue point is reached in a sound or QuickTime file, you can synchronize a movie with sound or digital video.

To set up Lingo that runs when the movie reaches a cue point in a sound or QuickTime file, put the Lingo in an on cuePassed handler. See on cuePassed.

To determine whether a sound or QuickTime file has passed a specific cue point, use the isPastCuePoint() function. See isPastCuePoint().

To find the ordinal number of the last cue point passed in a sound or QuickTime file, use the mostRecentCuePoint function. See mostRecentCuePoint.

To obtain a list of names for the cue points in a specific sound or QuickTime file, test the cuePointNames property. See cuePointNames.

To obtain a list of times for cue points in a specific sound or QuickTime file, test the cuePointTimes property. See cuePointTimes.
