Playing sounds with Lingo

Lingo lets you play and control sounds regardless of the settings in the Score. You can use Lingo to play sounds, turn them on and off, and play external sounds that aren't cast members. Using Lingo to play sounds lets you control the exact timing of when sounds start and stop. Lingo also allows you to play only part of a sound cast member or play several sounds in succession without interruption.

Sounds played by Director play at the volume set in the computer's sound level control. You can use Lingo to modify the computer's sound level to suit the needs of your movie, or to modify the volume of the sound channel itself.

You can also use Lingo to control and stream Shockwave Audio. See Playing Shockwave Audio and MP3 audio with Lingo.
