Sphere properties
Spheres created at run time aren't saved with the cast member's media when the Director movie is saved. Their type
is #sphere
. Their surface is generated by sweeping a two-dimensional semicircle arc in the XY plane from startAngle to endAngle in the Y axis. If startAngle
= 0.0 and endAngle
= 360.0, a full sphere is generated. If startAngle
= 180.0 and endAngle
= 360.0, a half sphere is generated. These properties can be modified or animated at run time.
