autoMask

Syntax

member(whichCursorCastMember).autoMask
the autoMask of member whichCastMember

Description

Cast member property; specifies whether the white pixels in the animated color cursor cast member whichCursorCastMember are transparent, allowing the background to show through (TRUE, default), or opaque (FALSE).

Example

In this script, when the custom animated cursor stored in cast member 5 enters the sprite, the automask is turned on so that the background of the sprite will show through the white pixels. When the cursor leaves the sprite, the automask is turned off.

Using dot syntax, the script is written as:

on mouseEnter
	member 5.autoMask = TRUE 
end

on mouseLeave
	member 5.autoMask = FALSE
end

Using traditional Lingo syntax, the script is written as:

on mouseEnter
	set the autoMask of member 5 = TRUE 
end

on mouseLeave
	set the autoMask of member 5 = FALSE
end
