Light

Represents a light in a 3D world.

Lights are used to light a 3D world. Without lights, the objects within the world cannot be seen.

You can create a reference to a light by using the

light property of the 3D Member object. The

light property gets the light at a specified index position in the list of lights. In Lingo, you use

the

light property directly from the 3D Member object to create a reference. In JavaScript syntax,

you must use the

getPropRef() method to create a reference.

The following example creates a reference to the third light of the 3D cast member "film room"

and assigns it to the variable

myLight.

-- Lingo syntax

myLight = member("film room").light[3]

// JavaScript syntax

var myLight = member("film room").getPropRef("light", 3);
