hotSpot
Syntax
member(whichCursorCastMember).hotspot
the hotspot of member whichCursorCastMember
Description
Cursor cast member property; specifies the horizontal and vertical point location of the pixel that
represents the hotspot within the animated color cursor cast member whichCursorCastMember.
Director uses this point to track the cursor’s position on the screen (for example, when it returns
the values for the Lingo functions
mouseH and mouseV) and to determine where a rollover
(signaled by the Lingo message mouseEnter) occurs.
The upper left corner of a cursor is point(0,0), which is the default
hotSpot value. Trying to set a
point outside the bounds of the cursor produces an error. For example, setting the hotspot of a
16-by-16-pixel cursor to point(16,16) produces an error (because the starting point is 0,0, not 1,1).
This property can be tested and set.
Example
This handler sets the hotspot of a 32-by-32-pixel cursor (whose cast member number is stored in
the variable
cursorNum) to the middle of the cursor:
on startMovie
member(cursorNum).hotSpot = point(16,16)
end
hotSpotEnterCallback
Syntax
sprite(whichQTVRSprite).hotSpotEnterCallback
the hotSpotEnterCallback of sprite whichQTVRSprite
Description
QuickTime VR sprite property; contains the name of the handler that runs when the cursor
enters a QuickTime VR hot spot that is visible on the Stage. The QuickTime VR sprite receives
the message first. The message has two arguments: the
me parameter and the ID of the hot spot
that the cursor entered.
To clear the callback, set this property to 0.
To avoid a performance penalty, set a callback property only when necessary.
This property can be tested and set.
