Setting the window size and location for a MIAW
Setting the screen coordinates for a MIAW lets you control how large the window is and where it appears. Setting the coordinates before the movie appears controls the initial position of the window; setting them after the window appears moves the window.
To specify the screen coordinates for a MIAW:
Set the rect
property to the coordinates of the location where you want the window to appear, choosing from the following options:
![]() |
Define the coordinates as a rectangle in the order left, top, right, and bottom, as in this statement: |
set window.rect "Sample" = [0, 0, 200, 300] |
|
![]() |
Use the |
set aRect = rect(0, 0, 200, 300) set window.rect "Sample" = aRect |
|
For convenience, assign the coordinates to a variable and then use the variable in the statements you write. |
See rect (window)
and rect()
