This property can be tested but not set.

Example

This sprite script resizes a Flash movie sprite so that it is equal to the original size of its Flash

movie cast member:

on beginSprite me

sprite(me.spriteNum).rect = sprite(me.spriteNum).member.FlashRect

end

Syntax

sprite(whichFlashSprite).flashToStage(pointInFlashMovie)

flashToStage (sprite whichFlashSprite, pointInFlashMovie)

Description

Function; returns the coordinate on the Director Stage that corresponds to a specified coordinate

in a Flash movie sprite. The function accepts both the Flash channel and movie coordinate and

returns the Director Stage coordinate as Director point values: for example, point(300,300).

Flash movie coordinates are measured in Flash movie pixels, which are determined by a movie’s

original size when it was created in Flash. For the purpose of calculating Flash movie coordinates,

point(0,0) of a Flash movie is always at its upper left corner. (The cast member’s

originPoint

property is used only for rotation and scaling, not to calculate movie coordinates.)

The

flashToStage and the corresponding stageToFlash functions are helpful for determining

which Flash movie coordinate is directly over a Director Stage coordinate. For both Flash and

Director, point(0,0) is the upper left corner of the Flash Stage or Director Stage. These

coordinates may not match on the Director Stage if a Flash sprite is stretched, scaled, or rotated.

Example

This handler accepts a point value and a sprite reference as a parameter, and it then sets the upper left

coordinate of the specified sprite to the specified point within a Flash movie sprite in channel 10:

on snapSprite whichFlashPoint, whichSprite

sprite(whichSprite).loc = sprite(1).FlashToStage(whichFlashPoint)
