Creating sprites
You create a sprite by dragging a cast member to either the Stage or the Score; the sprite appears in both places. New sprites, by default, span 28 frames. To change the default sprite duration, choose File > Preferences > Sprite; see Changing sprite preferences.
To create a new sprite:
1 |
Click to select the frame in the Score where you want the sprite to begin. |
2 |
From the Cast window, in either List or Thumbnail view, do one of the following: |
![]() |
Drag a cast member to the position on the Stage where you wish to place the sprite. |
![]() |
Drag a cast member to the Score. Director places the new sprite in the center of the Stage. |
![]() |
To create a sprite one frame long, press Alt (Windows) or Option (Macintosh) and drag a cast member to the Stage or Score.
