ADOBE DIRECTOR 11.0 728 Scripting Dictionary put(member("Real").currentTime) // 15534 The following examples cause playback to jump 20,000 milliseconds (20 seconds) into the stream of sprite 2 and the cast member Real. -- Lingo syntax sprite(2).currentTime = 20000 member("Real").currentTime = 20000 // JavaScript syntax sprite(2).currentTime = 20000 member("Real").currentTime = 20000 See also duration (RealMedia, SWA), seek(), mediaStatus (RealMedia, Windows Media) currentTime (Sprite) Usage -- Lingo syntax spriteObjRef.currentTime // JavaScript syntax spriteObjRef.currentTime; Description Sprite and sound channel property; returns the current playing time, in milliseconds, for a sound sprite, QuickTime digital video sprite, or any Xtra extension that supports cue points. For a sound channel, returns the current playing time of the sound member currently playing in the given sound channel. This property can be tested, but can only be set for traditional sound cast members (WAV, AIFF, SND). When this property is set, the range of allowable values is from zero to the duration of the member. Shockwave Audio (SWA) sounds can appear as sprites in sprite channels, but they play sound in a sound channel. You should refer to SWA sound sprites by their sprite channel number rather than by a sound channel number. Example This statement displays the current time, in seconds, of the sound sprite in sprite channel 10. -- Lingo syntax member("time").text = string(sprite(10).currentTime/ 1000) // JavaScript syntax member("time").text = (sprite(10).currentTime / 1000).toString(); This statement causes the sound playing in sound channel 2 to skip to the point 2.7 seconds from the beginning of the sound cast member: -- Lingo syntax sound(2).currentTime = 2700 // JavaScript syntax sound(2).currentTime = 2700; See also duration (Member)
