getErrorString()

Syntax

    member(whichCastMember). getErrorString()
    getErrorString(member whichCastMember)

Description

Function; for Shockwave Audio (SWA) cast members, returns the error message string that corresponds to the error value returned by the `getError()` function.

Possible `getError()` integer values and corresponding `getErrorString()` messages are:

getError() value | getErrorString() message
--- | ---
0 | OK
1 | memory
2 | network
3 | playback device
99 | other

Example

This handler uses `getError()` to determine whether an error occurred for Shockwave Audio cast member Norma Desmond Speaks, and if so, uses `getErrorString` to obtain the error message and assign it to a field cast member:

    on exitFrame
    	if member("Norma Desmond Speaks").getError() <> 0 then
    		member("Display Error Name").text = member("Norma Desmond \ Speaks").getErrorString()
    	end if
    end
