Setting sound cast member properties

You can use sound cast member properties to make a sound loop, change its name, change the external sound file it's linked to (if it's a linked sound), and set its unload priority.

To set sound cast member properties:

1

Select a sound cast member.

2

Click the Sound tab of the Property Inspector.

There are several noneditable options in the Sound tab of the Property Inspector:

The duration of the sound

The sample rate, sample size, and channels

3

To make the sound play continuously, click Loop. See Looping a sound.

4

To play the sound, click the Play button.

5

Click the Member tab in the Property Inspector.

The following noneditable settings are displayed:

The cast member size in kilobytes

The cast member creation and edit dates

The name of the last person who modified the cast member

6

Use the Name field to view or edit the cast member name.

7

To change the external sound file to which the cast member is linked (if it is a linked sound), enter a new path and file in the Filename field. You can also use the Browse button to select a new file.

8

To specify how Director removes the cast member from memory if memory is low, choose an option from the Unload pop-up menu. See Controlling cast member unloading.
