sprite(whichSprite).type
the type of sprite whichSprite
Description
Sprite property; clears sprite channels during Score recording by setting the type sprite property
value for that channel to 0.
Note: Switch the member of a sprite only to another member of the same type to avoid changing the

This property can be tested and set.
Example

sprite(1).type = 0

Usage

values are:
• #fromCastMember indicates that this is texture was created from a Director cast member
supporting the
image property using the newTexture command.
• #fromImageObject indicates that this is texture was created from an image object using the
