active3dRenderer
Usage
-- Lingo syntax
_movie.active3dRenderer
// JavaScript syntax
_movie.active3dRenderer;
Description
Movie property; Indicates the renderer currently in use by the movie for drawing 3D sprites. This
property is equivalent to the
getRendererServices().renderer property. Read-only.
The possible values of the
active3dRenderer property are #openGL, #directX7_0,
#directX5_2, and #software. The values #openGL, #directX7_0, and #directX5_2, which are
video card drivers, will lead to much faster performance than
#software, a software renderer used
when none of the first three options are available.
Use
getRendererServices().renderer to set this property.
Example
These examples show the two ways to determine which renderer is currently in use.
-- Lingo syntax
put(_movie.active3dRenderer)
put(getRendererServices().renderer)
// JavaScript syntax
