streaming

Syntax

    member(whichMember).streaming
    the streaming of member whichMember

Description

QuickTime cast member property. When `TRUE`, allows QuickTime playing over the Internet to begin playing immediately while the member downloads to the user's computer. When `FALSE`, the member must download completely before playback will begin. For the member to stream, its `directToStage` property must also be set to `TRUE`.

Defaults to `TRUE` for Director movies made with Director 7.02 and later. Defaults to `FALSE` for movies made with earlier versions of Director.

If the QuickTime member contains a text track with cue points, the text track must be set to preload in order for Director to make use of the cue points. You set the text track to preload using a video editor.

Director can also play back Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP) streams. The rtsp:// URL must end with .mov.

Example

This statement sets the streaming of member SunriseVideo to `FALSE`, causing it to download completely before playing back in Shockwave or ShockMachine:

    member("SunriseVideo").streaming = 0
