idleLoadMode

Usage

-- Lingo syntax
_movie.idleLoadMode

// JavaScript syntax
_movie.idleLoadMode;

Description

Movie property; determines when the preLoad() and preLoadMember() methods try to load cast members during idle periods. Read/write.

Idle periods can be one of the following values:

• 0--Does not perform idle loading
• 1--Performs idle loading when there is free time between frames
• 2--Performs idle loading during idle events
• 3--Performs idle loading as frequently as possible

The idleLoadMode property performs no function and works only in conjunction with the preLoad() and preLoadMember() methods.

Cast members that were loaded using idle loading remain compressed until the movie uses them. When the movie plays back, it may have noticeable pauses while it decompresses the cast members.

Example

This statement causes the movie to try as frequently as possible to load cast members designated for preloading by the preLoad and preLoadMember commands:

-- Lingo syntax
_movie.idleLoadMode = 3

// JavaScript syntax
_movie.idleLoadMode = 3;
