paragraph 911

The range of values is from -100 to 100. -100 indicates only the left channel is heard. 100

indicate only the right channel is being heard. A value of 0 indicates even left/right balance,

causing the sound source to appear to be centered. For mono sounds,

pan affects which speaker

(left or right) the sound plays through.

You can change the pan of a sound object at any time, but if the sound channel is currently

performing a fade, the new pan setting doesn’t take effect until the fade is complete.

To see an example of

pan used in a completed movie, see the Sound Control movie in the

Learning/Lingo Examples folder inside the Director application folder.

Example

These statements pan the sound in sound channel 2 from the left channel to the right channel:

-- Lingo syntax

repeat with x = -100 to 100

sound(2).pan = x

end repeat

// JavaScript syntax

for (var x = -100; x <= 100; x++) {

sound(2).pan = x;

}
