width

Syntax

member(whichCastMember).width
the width of member whichCastMember
imageObject.width
sprite(whichSprite).width
the width of sprite whichSprite

Description

Cast member, image object and sprite property; for vector shape, Flash, animated GIF, bitmap, and shape cast members, determines the width, in pixels, of the cast member specified by whichCastMember, imageObject or whichSprite. Field and button cast members are not affected.

For cast members and image objects, this property can be tested; for sprites, this property can be both tested and set.

Setting this property on bitmap sprites automatically sets the sprite's stretch of sprite property to TRUE.

Example

This statement assigns the width of member 50 to the variable height:

height = member(50).width 

Example

This statement sets the width of sprite 10 to 26 pixels:

sprite(10).width = 26

Example

This statement assigns the width of sprite number i + 1 to the variable howWide:

howWide = sprite(i + 1).width
