puppetTransition
Syntax
puppetTransition member whichCastMember
puppetTransition whichTransition {,time} {, chunkSize} {, changeArea}
Description
Command; performs the specified transition between the current frame and the next frame.
To use an Xtra transition cast member, use
puppetTransition member followed by the cast
member’s name or number.
To use a built-in Director transition, replace
whichTransition with a value in the following
table. Replace time with the number of quarter seconds used to complete the transition. The
minimum value is 0; the maximum is 120 (30 seconds). Replace
chunkSize with the number of
pixels in each chunk of the transition. The minimum value is 1; the maximum is 128. Smaller
chunk sizes yield smoother transitions but are slower.
