1 (connecting)

indicates that streaming has begun but is in the very early stages of connecting to

the server, and there is not enough information available locally to do anything with the cast

member. This state is the equivalent of

#connecting for the mediaStatus property.

2 (open) indicates that the Lingo properties have been refreshed from the actual stream. When

state is greater than or equal to 2, the height, width, and duration properties of the RealMedia

stream are known. This state is transitory and quickly changes to state 3. This state is the

equivalent of

#opened for the mediaStatus property.

3 (seeking or buffering) indicates that all of the RealMedia cast member’s Lingo properties are

current, but the cast member is not quite ready to play. The Stage or RealMedia viewer displays a

black rectangle or the RealNetworks logo. If this state is the result of rebuffering due to network

congestion, the

state value quickly changes back to 4 (playing). This state is the equivalent of

#buffering or #seeking for the mediaStatus property.

4 (playing) indicates that the RealMedia stream is playing (or paused) without problems or errors.

This is the state during normal playback. This state is the equivalent of

#playing or #paused for the

mediaStatus

property.

Examples

The following examples show that the state of streams in sprite 2 and the cast member Real is 0,

which is closed:

-- 0

put member("Real").state
