Syntax

SetSpriteProperty(@"IconTitle", #directToStage, boolean)

Type Icon property, sprite property

Description

This property controls whether a Flash movie is rendered directly to the screen or drawn in memory before being rendered in the Presentation window. Rendering a Flash movie direct to screen provides the fastest onscreen playback, but it requires that the sprite always appear on top of other sprites regardless of its layer.

The directToStage property can have these values:

TRUE The Flash movie sprite is rendered direct to screen.

FALSE The Flash movie sprite is drawn in memory and then displayed on screen.

You can get and set the value of the directToStage property. The default setting is FALSE.

Example

This statement sets a Flash movie sprite to render direct to screen.

SetSpriteProperty(@"Flash Icon", #directToStage, True)
