beginRecording

Syntax

beginRecording

Description

Keyword; starts a Score generation session. Only one update session in a movie can be active at a time.

Every beginRecording keyword must be matched by an endRecording keyword that ends the Score generation session.

Example

When used in the following handler, the beginRecording keyword begins a Score generation session that animates the cast member Ball by assigning the cast member to sprite channel 20 and then moving the sprite horizontally and vertically over a series of frames. The number of frames is determined by the argument numberOfFrames.

on animBall numberOfFrames
	beginRecording
		horizontal = 0
		vertical = 100
		repeat with i = 1 to numberOfFrames
			go to frame i
			sprite(20).member = member "Ball"
			sprite(20).locH = horizontal
			sprite(20).locV = vertical
			sprite(20).type = 1
			sprite(20).foreColor = 255
			horizontal = horizontal + 3
			vertical = vertical + 2
			updateFrame
		end repeat
	endRecording
end
