cacheSize()

Usage

-- Lingo syntax
cacheSize Size
cacheSize()

// JavaScript syntax
cacheSize(Size);
cacheSize();

Description

Function and command; sets the cache size of Director.

The cacheSize function is valid only for movies running in Director or as projectors. This function is not valid for movies with Shockwave content because they use the network settings of the browser in which they run.

Parameters

newCacheSize Optional. An integer that specifies the cache size, in kilobytes.

Example

This handler checks whether the browser's cache setting is less than 1 MB. If it is, the handler displays an alert and sets the cache size to 1 MB:

-- Lingo syntax
on checkCache if
   cacheSize()<1000 then
      alert "increasing cache to 1MB"
      cacheSize 1000
   end if
end

// JavaScript syntax
function checkCache() {
   if (cacheSize() < 1000) {
      alert("increasing cache to 1MB");
      cacheSize(1000);
   }
}
