### streamMode

Syntax: | `the streamMode of member` `whichFlashMember`
Type: | Cast member property
Description: | This property controls the way a linked Flash movie cast member is streamed into memory. The `streamMode of member` property can have these values:

| `#frame` Stream a portion of the cast member each time the Director frame advances while the sprite is on the stage.
| `#idle` Stream a portion of the cast member each time an idle event is generated, or at least once per Director frame while the sprite is on the stage.
| `#manual` Stream a portion of the cast member into memory only when the `stream` command is issued for that cast member.

| The `streamMode of member` property can be tested and set. The default setting is #frame.
Example: | This startMovie script searches the internal cast for Flash movie cast members and sets their streamMode property to #manual.

    on startMovie
    	repeat with i = 1 to the number of members of castLib 1
    		if the type of member i of castLib 1 = #flash then
    			set the streamMode of member i = #manual
    		end if
    	end repeat
    end
