rateShift

[manfishj]

Hi,
Does anyone know how to use the rateShift function? I am trying to speed up an audio file.

I checked in Director help. When I use the Lingo that it shows, I get an error message. It says "Script error: Comma expected"

Here is the lingo:
sound(channelNum).play(#member: member(whichMember),{#rateShift: shiftAmount})

I tried to use it in a prepareFrame handler. Does anybody know what I may be doing wrong?

Yours is a little off from the correct way: all the stuff in the parenthesis/bracket double layer as you can see below.

sound(channelNumber).play([#member:member(whichMember), #rateshift: shiftAmount])

As for the handler, prepareFrame makes it hiccup at the very beginning of the sound. Try putting it on any sprite's behavoir in a beginSprite handler.

Thanks, archerofloaf. One more question. What I would like to do is click on a fast-forward button which will make the rateShift go up to 12, then I would like to click it again to make it go back to 0. But, when I click it the second time, I would like it to continue from the same spot, as opposed to starting from the beginning. So far, when I tried it, on the second click, it would start the audio from the beginning. Please let me know if you have any suggestions. Thanks again.
