netThrottleTicks
Usage
-- Lingo syntax
_player.netThrottleTicks
// JavaScript syntax
_player.netThrottleTicks;
Description
Player property; in the Macintosh authoring environment, allows you to control the frequency of
servicing to a network operation. Read/write.
The default value is 15. The higher the value is set, the smoother the movie playback and
animation is, but less time is spent servicing any network activity. A low setting allows more time
to be spent on network operations, but will adversely affect playback and animation performance.
This property only affects the authoring environment and projectors on the Macintosh. It is
ignored on Windows or Shockwave Player on the Mac.
