crop() (member command)
Syntax
member(
whichMember
).crop(
rectToCropTo
)
crop member
whichMember, rectToCropTo
Description
Bitmap command; allows a bitmap cast member to be cropped to a specific size.
You can use crop
to trim existing cast members, or in conjunction with the picture of the Stage to grab a snapshot and then crop it to size for display.
The registration point is kept in the same location so the bitmap does not move in relation to the original position.
Example
This statement sets an existing bitmap member to a snapshot of the Stage then crops the resulting image to a rectangle equal to sprite 10:
member("stage image").picture = (the stage).picture member("stage image").crop(sprite(10).rect)
