Changes | The use of QuickTime was deprecated in version 8.1 of LiveCode with new defaults for dontUseQT and dontUseQTEffects as true on all systems apart from pre OS X 10.8. The Windows build of LiveCode no longer supports any QuickTime features and setting the dontUseQT and dontUseQTEffects will have no effect. Additionally QuickTime does not include 64 bit support and therefore can not be supported on OS X 64 bit builds of LiveCode. | ||||||

Description | Use the answer record command to specify settings for use with the record sound command. The answer record command displays a dialog box where the user can select a sound compression format, rate, sampling rate, and whether to record in mono or stereo. Depending on the compression format, other options may also be offered. (This dialog box is displayed by QuickTime, not by LiveCode.) The settings the user chooses will be used the next time the record sound command is used. The answer record command sets the recordCompression, recordRate, recordSampleSize, and recordChannels properties in accordance with the settings chosen in the dialog box. To save the settings you choose in the dialog box and use them later without re-displaying the dialog, save the values of these properties, then restore them when you want to record sound. | ||||||
