viewH

Syntax: the viewH of sprite whichFlashSprite
the viewH of member whichFlashMember
Type: Cast member property; sprite property
Description: This property controls the horizontal coordinate of a Flash movie's view point. This point is specified in Flash movie pixel units.
A Flash movie's view point is set relative to its origin point. For more information, see the viewPoint property.
Setting a positive value for viewH shifts the movie to the left inside the sprite; setting a negative value shifts the movie to the right. Therefore, changing the viewH property can have the effect of cropping the movie, or even of removing the movie from view entirely.
The viewH property can be tested and set. The default setting is 0.
Example: This handler accepts a sprite reference as a parameter and moves the view of a Flash movie sprite from left to right within the sprite's bounding rectangle.
on panRight whichSprite
	repeat with i = 120 down to -120
		set the viewH of sprite whichSprite = i
	end repeat
end
