height

Syntax

member(whichCastMember).height
the height of member whichCastMember
imageObject.height
sprite(whichSprite).height
the height of sprite whichSprite

Description

Cast member, image object and sprite property; for vector shape, Flash, animated GIF, bitmap, and shape cast members, determines the height, in pixels, of the cast member displayed on the Stage.

For cast members, works with bitmap and shape cast members only. This property can be tested but not set.

For image objects, this property can be tested but not set.

For sprites: setting the sprite's height automatically sets the sprite's stretch property to TRUE. For the value set by Lingo to last beyond the current sprite, the sprite must be a puppet. This property can be tested and set.

Example

This statement assigns the height of cast member Headline to the variable vHeight:

vHeight = member("Headline").height

Example

This statement sets the height of sprite 10 to 26 pixels:

sprite(10).height = 26

Example

This statement assigns the height of sprite (i + 1) to the variable vHeight:

vHeight = sprite(i + 1).height
