Cropping and scaling a MIAW
You can use Lingo to crop or scale a MIAW.
To crop a MIAW:
Set the rect
window property to an area smaller than the MIAW. See rect (window)
.
To scale a MIAW:
Set the drawRect
property to coordinates smaller than the MIAW's original size and apply the position to the window, as shown in the following example:
set aRect = rect(0, 0, 200, 300) set window("Sample").drawRect = aRect -- sets window size to 200 x 300 set window("Sample").drawRect = aRect/2 -- scales the window to half its original size
When the drawRect
property specifies a window rectangle that is smaller than the movie, the window appears in the upper left corner, and the movie is compressed to fit within the window. See drawRect
.
