Syntax

sprite(whichSprite).blend

the blend of sprite whichSprite

Description

Sprite property; sets or determines a sprite’s blend value, from 0 to 100, corresponding to the

blend values in the Sprite Properties dialog box.

The possible colors depend on the colors available in the palette, regardless of the monitor’s

color depth.

The Director player for Java supports the

blend sprite property for bitmap sprites only.

For best results, use the blend ink with images that have a color depth greater than 8-bit.

Examples

The following statement sets the blend value of sprite 3 to 40 percent.

Dot syntax:

sprite(3).blend = 40

Verbose syntax:

set the blend of sprite 3 to 40

This statement displays the blend value of sprite 3 in the Message window:

put the blend of sprite 3
