sound object - position

[moot]

you can't set the position of a sound object?

thanks!

[vevmesteren]

position as in _y and _x? No...why would you want to do that?

Depth as in _root.myObjects.SoundObject1, yes you can

[Mirandir]

Or do you mean left/right speaker? In that case check the setPan method. but I don't think that ther is a possibility to set it in surround though...

sorry, thought it was commonly used

there are two properties of a sound object: duration and position

example: song_length = mysong.duration;

duration is how long the clip is and position is the current position in the duration so if you display the duration it shows a count as the clip plays

setPosition doesn't seem to work so i assume you can't but i wanted to check with you guys.

Well you can specify a position with the start() method. As long as the sound isn't streaming that is.

seeeeeeeeeee? that's why i come to you guys. it's the simple and obvious solutions that i don't have when i first start doing something.

exactly what i needed but it might have been days for me to realize i had already givin a position in the start paramater.

thanks mirandir!
