Custom Modes

#Follow
     The #follow mode is a custom mode for the scale effect only.  In this mode, the alphamaniac will scale to the current sprite rectangle.  This mode replicates the standard Director sprite scaling.  Optionally, #follow mode can be set up to scale based on a percentage of the sprite rectangle by using the #percentage parameter. 

Custom Functions

Follow
  Follow( sprite x, #scale)
  Follow( sprite x, #scale, interpolation)
  Follow( sprite x, #scale, interpolation, percentage)
     This is the mode accessor function for accessing the ëfollowí mode.

InterpolateNow
  InterpolateNow( sprite x, #scale)
     This function causes the sprite to immediately redraw interpolated, but does not change the flag for the sprites overall interpolation setting.

SetInterpolation
  SetInterpolation(sprite x, #scale, interpolation)
