For Sound objects, getBytesTotal() is used together with getBytesLoaded() to determine

(and display, normally) the load progress of a downloading sound file. See getBytesLoaded(

) for details and example code.

Sound.getPan() Method

retrieve the last pan value set

Flash 5

soundObject.getPan()

Returns

A number indicating the last value set by setPan(). Usually in the range of –100 (left

channel on, right channel off) to 100 (right channel on, left channel off). Default value is 0

(left and right channels in equal proportions).

Description

By adjusting the pan of a sound, you can create the illusion of a moving sound source. The

getPan() method is used to determine the current distribution of the left and right channels

of the sounds controlled by

soundObject. Normally, getPan() is used in combination with

setPan() to adjust the current pan of a sound.

Example

Here we alter the pan of a sound by 20 towards the left channel:

mySound = new Sound();

mySound.setPan(mySound.getPan() - 20);
