scale
Syntax
member(whichCastMember).scale
the scale of member whichCastMember
sprite(whichSprite).scale
the scale of sprite whichSprite
Description
Cast member property and sprite property; controls the scaling of a QuickTime, vector shape, or
Flash movie sprite.
For QuickTime, this property does not scale the sprite’s bounding rectangle or the sprite’s
controller. Instead, it scales the image around the image’s center point within the bounding
rectangle. The scaling is specified as a Director list containing two percentages stored as float-
point values:
[xPercent, yPercent]
The xPercent parameter specifies the amount of horizontal scaling; the yPercent parameter
specifies vertical scaling.
When the sprite’s
crop property is set to TRUE, the scale property can be used to simulate zooming
within the sprite’s bounding rectangle. When the sprite’s
crop property is set to FALSE, the scale
property is ignored.
This property can be tested and set. The default value is [1.0000,1.0000].
For Flash movie or vector shape cast members, the scale is a floating-point value. The movie is
scaled from its origin point, as specified by its
originMode property.
Note: This property must be set to the default value if the scaleMode property is set to #autoSize; otherwise the
sprite does not display correctly.
