Usage
-- Lingo syntax
spriteObjRef.playRate
// JavaScript syntax
spriteObjRef.playRate;
Description
Digital video sprite property; controls the rate at which a digital video in a specific channel plays.
The movie rate is a value specifying the playback of the digital video. A value of 1 specifies normal
forward play, -1 specifies reverse, and 0 specifies stop. Higher and lower values are possible. For
example, a value of 0.5 causes the digital video to play slower than normal. However, frames may
be dropped when the
playRate sprite property exceeds 1. The severity of frame dropping
depends on factors such as the performance of the computer the movie is playing on and whether
the digital video sprite is stretched.
This property can be tested and set.
