Description

Sound property; allows the sound mixing device to be set while the movie plays. Read/write.

The possible settings for

soundDevice are the devices listed in soundDeviceList.

Several sound devices can be referenced. The various sound devices for Windows have

different advantages.

• MacroMix (Windows)—The lowest common denominator for Windows playback. This

device functions on any Windows computer, but its latency is not as good as that of other

devices.

• QT3Mix (Windows)—Mixes sound with QuickTime audio and possibly with other

applications if they use DirectSound. This device requires that QuickTime be installed and has

better latency than MacroMix.

• DirectSound (Windows)—Similar to QT3Mix, but provides higher latency.

• MacSoundManager (Macintosh)—The only sound device available on the Macintosh.

Example

The following statement sets the sound device to the MacroMix for a Windows computer. If the

newly assigned device fails, the soundDevice property is not changed.

-- Lingo syntax

_sound.soundDevice = "MacroMix"

// JavaScript syntax

_sound.soundDevice = "MacroMix";
