the bgColor of sprite whichSpriteNumber

member(which3dMember).bgcolor

Description

Sprite property, system property, and 3D cast member property; determines the background color

of the sprite specified by

whichSprite, the color of the Stage, or the background color of the 3D

cast member. Setting the

bgColor sprite property is equivalent to choosing the background color

from the Tools window when the sprite is selected on the Stage. Setting the

bgColor property for

the Stage is equivalent to setting the color in the Movie Properties dialog box.

The sprite property has the equivalent functionality of the

backColor sprite property, but the

color value returned is a color object of whatever type has been set for that sprite.

This property can be tested and set.

Example

This example sets the color of the Stage to an RGB value.

Dot syntax:

(the stage).bgColor = rgb(255, 153, 0)

Verbose Lingo syntax:

set the bgColor of the stage = rgb(255, 153, 0)
