## DAStatic Functions Relevant to DASound Objects

###

ImportSound

DAStatics Class

Creates a sound behavior by synchronously importing the given .WAV or MIDI file. These downloads should be small and listed before asynchronous downloads. Use asynchronous downloads for more complex images and sounds. See ImportSoundAsync for a description of the asynchronous import function.

lib.ImportSound(
url
)

##### Parameters

url
  The pathname for importing the sound. This is a String data type.

##### Return Values

Returns the DAImportationResult object, which has the following relevant properties:

- Duration, which is the length of the sound, in seconds
- Sound, which is the imported sound.

###

ImportSoundAsync

DAStatics Class

Creates a DASound by asynchronously importing the given .WAV or .MIDI file. Asynchronous downloads should be listed after synchronous ones and used for more complex sounds and images. For a description of the synchronous import function, see ImportSound.

lib.ImportSoundAsync(
url,
sndStandIn
)

##### Parameters

url
  The pathname (a string) of the file.
sndStandIn
  The sound to use while the contents at url are still being downloaded. This argument cannot be null, however, the sound can be silence. This is a DASound.

##### Return Values

Returns the DAImportationResult object, which has the following relevant properties:

- CompletionEvent, which is the event that triggers once the download is complete.
- Duration, which is the length of the sound, in seconds
- Progress, which is the percentage of the download that has completed.
- Size, which is the size of the imported sound, in bytes.
- Sound, which is the imported sound.

###

Mix

DAStatics Class

Creates a sound behavior that is equivalent to sound1 + sound2.

lib.Mix(
sound1,
sound2
)

##### Parameters

sound1 and sound2
  The DASound objects to be mixed.

##### Return Values

Returns the DASound object.

###

MixArray

DAStatics Class

Creates a sound that is equivalent to sound1 + sound2 + soundn.

lib.MixArray(
sounds
)

##### Parameters

sounds
  The DASound objects in the array. This is a Variant array.

##### Return Values

Returns the DASound object.
