play member

Syntax

    member(whichCastMember).play()
    play member whichCastMember

Description

Command; begins playback of a Shockwave Audio (SWA) streaming cast member.

If the sound has not been preloaded by means of the`preLoadBuffer()` command, the SWA sound preloads before playing begins. When the sound is playing, the`state` member property equals 3.

Be aware that Xtras to support this functionality must be included when playing back a streaming sound.

Example

This handler begins the playback of the cast member Big Band:

    on mouseDown
    	member("Big Band").play()
    end
