centerStage

Syntax

the centerStage

Description

Movie property; determines whether the Stage is centered on the monitor when the movie is loaded (TRUE, default) or not centered (FALSE). Place the statement that includes this property in the movie that precedes the movie you want it to affect.

This property is useful for checking the Stage location before a movie plays from a projector.

This property can be tested and set.

Note: Be aware that behavior while playing back in a projector differs between Windows and Macintosh systems. Settings selected during creation of the projector may override this property.

Example

This statement sends the movie to a specific frame if the Stage is not centered:

if the centerStage = FALSE then go to frame "Off Center" 

Example

This statement changes the centerStage property to the opposite of its current value:

set the centerStage to (not the centerStage)
