Setting sound cast member properties

You can use sound cast member properties to make a sound loop, change its name, change the external sound file it's linked to (if it's a linked sound), and set its unload priority.

To set sound cast member properties:

1 | Select a sound cast member.
2 | Click the Sound tab of the Property Inspector.
| There are several noneditable options in the Sound tab of the Property Inspector:
| The duration of the sound
| The sample rate, sample size, and channels
3 | To make the sound play continuously, click Loop. See Looping a sound.
4 | To play the sound, click the Play button.
5 | Click the Member tab in the Property Inspector.
| The following noneditable settings are displayed:
| The cast member size in kilobytes
| The cast member creation and edit dates
| The name of the last person who modified the cast member
6 | Use the Name field to view or edit the cast member name.
7 | To change the external sound file to which the cast member is linked (if it is a linked sound), enter a new path and file in the Filename field. You can also use the Browse button to select a new file.
8 | To specify how Director removes the cast member from memory if memory is low, choose an option from the Unload pop-up menu. See Controlling cast member unloading.
