Description
Sound property; determines whether Flash cast members will mix their sound with sounds in the
Score sound channels. Read/write.
This property defaults to
TRUE for movies made with Director 7 and later and FALSE for
earlier ones. It is also valid only on Windows.
When this property is
TRUE, Flash cast members will mix their sound with sounds in the Score
sound channels. Director takes over the mixing and playback of sounds from Flash cast members.
It is possible that slight differences may occur in the way Flash sounds play back. To hear the
Flash sounds exactly they would be rendered in Flash, set this property to
FALSE.
When this property is set to FALSE, Flash sounds will not be mixed and must be played at
separate times.
