left
Syntax
sprite(
whichSprite
).left
the left of sprite
whichSprite
Description
Sprite property; identifies the left horizontal coordinate of the bounding rectangle of the sprite specified by whichSprite
.
Sprite coordinates are measured in pixels, starting with (0,0) at the upper left corner of the Stage.
When a movie plays back as an applet, this property's value is relative to the left edge of the applet.
This property can be tested and set.
Example
The following statement determines whether the sprite's left edge is to the left of the Stage's left edge. If the sprite's left edge is to the Stage's left edge, the script runs the handler offLeftEdge
:
if sprite(3).left < 0 then offLeftEdge
Example
This statement measures the left horizontal coordinate of the sprite numbered (i + 1) and assigns the value to the variable named vLowest
:
set vLowest = sprite (i + 1).left
