getFlashProperty()

Syntax

sprite(spriteNum).getFlashProperty("targetName", #property)

Description

This function allows Lingo to invoke the Flash action script function getProperty() on the given Flash sprite. This Flash action script function is used to get the value of properties of movie clips or levels within a Flash movie. This is similar to testing sprite properties within Director.

The targetName is the name of the movie clip or level whose property you want to get within the given Flash sprite.

The #property is the name of the property to get. These movie clip properties are gettable: #posX, #posY, #scaleX, #scaleY, #visible, #rotate , #alpha, #name, #width, #height, #target, #url, #dropTarget, #totalFrames, #currentFrame, and #lastframeLoaded.

To get a global property of the Flash sprite, pass an empty string as the targetName. These global Flash properies are gettable: #focusRect and #spriteSoundBufferTime.

See the Flash documentation for descriptions of these properties.

Example

This statement gets the value of the #rotate property of the movie clip Star in the Flash member in sprite 3.

sprite(3).setFlashProperty("Star", #rotate)
setFlashProperty()
