bytesStreamed

Syntax

member(whichFlashOrSWAMember).bytesStreamed
the bytesStreamed of member whichFlashOrSWAMember

Description

Flash and Shockwave Audio cast member property; indicates the number of bytes of the specified cast member that have been loaded into memory. The bytesStreamed property returns a value only when the Director movie is playing. It returns an integer value.

This property can be tested but not set.

Example

This handler accepts a cast member reference as a parameter, and it then uses the stream command to load the cast member into memory. Every time it streams part of the cast member into memory, it uses the bytesStreamed property to report in the Message window how many bytes have been streamed.

Dot syntax:

on fetchMovie whichFlashMovie
	repeat while member(whichFlashMovie).percentStreamed < 100
		stream(member whichFlashMovie)
		put "Number of bytes streamed:" && member(whichFlashMovie).bytesStreamed
	end repeat
end

Verbose syntax:

on fetchMovie whichFlashMovie
	repeat while the percentStreamed of member whichFlashMovie < 100
		stream(member whichFlashMovie)
		put "Number of bytes streamed:" && the bytesStreamed of member  \ 
		whichFlashMovie
	end repeat
end
