PlayRate Property

Syntax

set the playRate of <movie> to <integer> Applies to movies

Description

The playRate property is a non-negative number that indicates the speed at which a movie is played. Setting a movie's playRate does not initiate playback; it controls the speed of playback once playback has been initiated with the play command. A playRate of 1 means the movie is playing forward at normal speed, while a playRate of 0 indicates a movie that is stopped. Setting the playRate to 2 or more increases the rate at which the movie is played (just like fast forwarding or rewinding it, as illustrated in the example below).
