Description
Movie method; performs the specified transition between the current frame and the next frame.
To use an Xtra transition cast member, use the
puppetTransition(memberObjRef) syntax.
To use a built-in Director transition, replace
int with a value in the following table. Replace time
with the number of quarter seconds used to complete the transition. The minimum value is 0; the
maximum is 120 (30 seconds). Replace
size with the number of pixels in each chunk of the
transition. The minimum value is 1; the maximum is 128. Smaller chunk sizes yield smoother
transitions but are slower.
