Sound.getPan( ) Method Flash 5

retrieve the last pan value set
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);
