centerRegPoint

Syntax

member(whichCastMember).centerRegPoint
the centerRegPoint of member whichCastMember

Description

Flash, vector shape, and bitmap cast member property; automatically centers the registration point of the cast member when you resize the sprite (TRUE, default); or repositions the registration point at its current point value when you resize the sprite, set the defaultRect property, or set the regPoint property (FALSE).

This property can be tested and set.

Example

This script checks to see if a Flash movie's centerRegPoint property is set to TRUE. If it is, the script uses the regPoint property to reposition the sprite's registration point to its upper left corner. By checking the centerRegPoint property, the script ensures that it does not reposition a registration point that had been previously set using the regPoint property.

Dot syntax:

on beginSprite me
	if sprite(the spriteNum of me).member.centerRegPoint = TRUE then 
		sprite(the spriteNum of me).member.regPoint = point(0,0)
	end if
end"

Verbose syntax:

on beginSprite me
	if the centerRegPoint of member the memberNum of me = TRUE then
		set the regPoint of member the memberNum of me = point(0,0)
	end if
end
