Public Methods

addMarker(name, start, duration, volume, loop)

Parameters
Name Type Argument Default Description
name string

A unique name for this marker, i.e. 'explosion', 'gunshot', etc.

start number

The start point of this marker in the audio file, given in seconds. 2.5 = 2500ms, 0.5 = 500ms, etc.

duration number

The duration of the marker in seconds. 2.5 = 2500ms, 0.5 = 500ms, etc.

volume number <optional>

remove boolean <optional>
true

If true this Sound is automatically removed from the SoundManager.

Source code: sound/Sound.js (Line 990)

fadeIn(duration, loop, marker)

At the end of the fade Sound.onFadeComplete is dispatched with this Sound object as the first parameter, and the final volume (1) as the second parameter.

Parameters
Name Type Argument Default Description
duration number <optional>

Parameters
Name Type Argument Default Description
duration number <optional>
1000

The time in milliseconds over which the Sound should fade out.

Source code: sound/Sound.js (Line 929)

fadeTo(duration, volume)
