streamMode

Syntax: the streamMode of member whichFlashMember
Type: Cast member property
Description: This property controls the way a linked Flash movie cast member is streamed into memory. The streamMode of member property can have these values:
#frame Stream a portion of the cast member each time the Director frame advances while the sprite is on the stage.
#idle Stream a portion of the cast member each time an idle event is generated, or at least once per Director frame while the sprite is on the stage.
#manual Stream a portion of the cast member into memory only when the stream command is issued for that cast member.
The streamMode of member property can be tested and set. The default setting is #frame.
Example: This startMovie script searches the internal cast for Flash movie cast members and sets their streamMode property to #manual.
on startMovie
	repeat with i = 1 to the number of members of castLib 1
		if the type of member i of castLib 1 = #flash then
			set the streamMode of member i = #manual
		end if
	end repeat
end
