Sound Channel 111
Sound Channel
Represents an individual sound channel found within the Sound object.
There are eight available sound channels. You can use a Sound Channel object in script to access
and modify any of the eight sound channels.
Note: You can modify only the first two sound channels in the Score of the Director user interface.
You can create a reference to a Sound Channel object by using the top level sound() method, the
Player object’s
sound property, or the Sound object’s channel() method. For example, you can
reference sound channel 2 by doing the following:
• Use the top level sound() method.
-- Lingo syntax
objSoundChannel = sound(2)
// JavaScript syntax
var objSoundChannel = sound(2);
• Use the Player object’s sound property.
-- Lingo syntax
objSoundChannel = _player.sound[2]
// JavaScript syntax
var objSoundChannel = _player.sound[2];
• Use the Sound object’s channel() method.
-- Lingo syntax
objSoundChannel = _sound.channel(2)
// JavaScript syntax
var objSoundChannel = _sound.channel(2);
