Making sprites editable or moveable with Lingo

Lingo can make sprites editable or moveable regardless of the settings in the Score. You can also use Lingo to constrain a moveable sprite to a certain region. For example, you can create a draggable slider with an indicator that moves across a gauge. .

To make a text sprite editable with Lingo, set the text sprite's editable property to TRUE. For best results, set this property in a script attached to the sprite or the frame where the sprite is located. See editable.

To make a sprite moveable with Lingo, set the moveableSprite sprite property to TRUE. For best results, set this property in a script attached to the sprite or the frame where the sprite is located. See moveableSprite.

To restrict the registration point of a moveable sprite so it stays within the bounding rectangle of a second sprite, use the constraint sprite property. See constraint.

To constrain a sprite along a horizontal or vertical path, use the constrainH() or constrainV() function. See constrainH() or constrainV().
