stageRight

Syntax

the stageRight

Description

Function; along with stageLeft, stageTop, and stageBottom, indicates where the Stage is positioned on the desktop. It returns the right horizontal coordinate of the Stage relative to the upper left corner of the main screen's desktop. The width of the Stage in pixels is determined by the stageRight - the stageLeft.

When the movie plays back as an applet, the stageRight property is the width of the applet in pixels.

This function can be tested but not set.

Sprite coordinates are expressed relative to the upper left corner of the Stage.

Example

These two statements position sprite 3 a distance of 50 pixels from the right edge of the Stage:

stageWidth = the stageRight - the stageLeft
sprite(3).locH = stageWidth - 50
