centerRegPoint

Usage

-- Lingo syntax

memberObjRef.centerRegPoint

// JavaScript syntax

memberObjRef.centerRegPoint;

Description

Flash, vector shape, and bitmap cast member property; automatically centers the registration

point of the cast member when you resize the sprite (

TRUE, default); or repositions the

registration point at its current point value when you resize the sprite, set the

defaultRect

property, or set the

regPoint property (FALSE).

This property can be tested and set.

Example

This script checks to see if a Flash movie’s centerRegPoint property is set to TRUE. If it is, the

script uses the

regPoint property to reposition the sprite’s registration point to its upper left

corner. By checking the

centerRegPoint property, the script ensures that it does not reposition a

registration point that had been previously set using the

regPoint property.
