updateStage
Syntax
updateStage
Description
Command; redraws the Stage immediately instead of only between frames.
The updateStage
command redraws sprites, performs transitions, plays sounds, sends a prepareFrame
message (affecting movie and behavior scripts), and sends a stepFrame
message (which affects actorList
).
Example
This handler changes the sprite's horizontal and vertical locations and redraws the Stage so that the sprite appears in the new location without having to wait for the playback head to move:
on moveRight whichSprite, howFar sprite(whichSprite).locH = sprite(whichSprite).locH + howFar updateStage end moveRight
