186 Chapter 9: Using Flash, Flash Components, and Other Interactive Media Types

Flipping, rotating, and skewing Flash sprites

Lingo or JavaScript syntax can flip, rotate, and skew Flash sprites as the movie plays. For more

information, see the Scripting Reference topics in the Director Help Panel.

• To flip a Flash sprite, set the flipH and flipV sprite properties.

• To skew a Flash sprite, set the skew sprite property.

• To rotate a Flash sprite, set the rotation property. Set the obeyScoreRotation property to

specify whether a Flash sprite obeys the rotation specified in the Score.

obeyScoreRotation is set to TRUE, Director ignores the cast member’s rotation property

and obeys the Score rotation settings instead.

Colorizing and blending Flash sprites

You can use Lingo or JavaScript syntax to change a sprite’s color and blend as the Director content

plays. For more information, see the Scripting Reference topics in the Director Help Panel.

To specify the color of a Flash sprite:

• Set the color sprite property.

To specify the blend for a Flash sprite:

• Set the blend sprite property.

Scaling Flash content

You can use Lingo or JavaScript syntax to scale Flash cast members and sprites. For more

information, see the Scripting Reference topics in the Director Help Panel.

To control the scaling of Flash content:

• Set the scale and scaleMode properties.

To set the scale percentage of Flash content within its sprite’s bounding rectangle:

• Set the viewScale property.

Obeying the Flash content cursor settings

Flash content can be designed to use different cursors depending on which part of the Flash

content the mouse pointer is rolled over. To allow a Flash sprite to use the cursor settings defined

in the Flash content, attach the Flash Cursor behavior to the Flash sprite.

To write your own script to test the cursor settings of the Flash content, use the

getFlashProperty() method and test for the #cursor property. For more information about

this method, see the Scripting Reference topics in the Director Help Panel.
