Syntax

member(whichMember).streaming
the streaming of member whichMember

Description

QuickTime cast member property. When TRUE, allows QuickTime playing over the Internet to begin playing immediately while the member downloads to the user's computer. When FALSE, the member must download completely before playback will begin. For the member to stream, its directToStage property must also be set to TRUE.

Defaults to TRUE for Director movies made with Director 7.02 and later. Defaults to FALSE for movies made with earlier versions of Director.

If the QuickTime member contains a text track with cue points, the text track must be set to preload in order for Director to make use of the cue points. You set the text track to preload using a video editor.

Director can also play back Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP) streams. The rtsp:// URL must end with .mov.

member("SunriseVideo").streaming = 0
