defineAudioSource(nickname, uri, preload, cycleCount, volume, start, stop)

Parameter

• nickname - The nickname of the file. For example, "tense music"
• uri - The uri/url of the file. For example, http://www.mywebsite/mysong.mp3 or file:/C:/mysong.mp3
• preload - A string indicating if the audio should be pre-loaded or not. If set to "clip", preloads it as a clip. If set to "stream", preloads it as a stream.
• cycleCount - Set the default number of times the audio should play. If set to -1, the file is played continuously.
• volume - Set the default volume the audio is to be played at. Can range from 0 to 1.
• start - Set the default time offset in seconds where audio should start playing, or restart from when repeating.

Examples

An example on how to define an audio source:

[defineAudioSource("no sorrow", "http://erinmcnamee.com.hostbaby.com/files/07_No_Sorrow__Banish_Misfortune.mp3", "stream", -1, 0.5)]

The source can now be played as

[playStream("no sorrow")]

which will play the file continuously, at 50% volume.
