ADOBE DIRECTOR 11.0 727 Scripting Dictionary Example This statement displays the current time of the QuickTime movie in channel 9 in the Message window: -- Lingo syntax put(sprite(9).currentTime) // JavaScript syntax put(sprite(9).currentTime); This statement sets the current time of the QuickTime movie in channel 9 to the value in the variable Poster: -- Lingo syntax sprite(9).currentTime = Poster // JavaScript syntax sprite(9).currentTime = Poster; See also duration (Member) currentTime (RealMedia) Usage -- Lingo syntax memberOrSpriteObjRef.currentTime // JavaScript syntax memberOrSpriteObjRef.currentTime; Description RealMedia sprite or cast member property; allows you to get or set the current time of the RealMedia stream, in milliseconds. If the RealMedia cast member is not playing, the value of this property is 0, which is the default setting. This is a playback property, and it is not saved. If the stream is playing when the currentTime property is set or changed, a seek action takes place, the stream rebuffers, and then playback resumes at the new time. If the stream is paused (#paused mediaStatus value) when currentTime is set or changed, the stream redraws the frame at the new time, and it resumes playback if pausedAtStart is set to FALSE. When the stream is paused or stopped in the RealMedia viewer, mediaStatus is #paused. When the stream is stopped by the Lingo stop command, mediaStatus is #closed. This property has no effect if the stream's mediaStatus value is #closed. When you set integer values, they are clipped to the range from 0 to the duration of the stream. Setting currentTime is equivalent to invoking the seek command: x.seek(n) is the same as x.currentTime = n. Changing currentTime or calling seek will require the stream to be rebuffered. Example The following examples show that the current time of the sprite 2 and the cast member Real is 15,534 milliseconds (15.534 seconds) from the beginning of the stream. -- Lingo syntax put(sprite(2).currentTime) -- 15534 put(member("Real").currentTime) -- 15534 // JavaScript syntax put(sprite(2).currentTime) // 15534
