updateLock
Usage
-- Lingo syntax
_movie.updateLock
// JavaScript syntax
_movie.updateLock;
Description
Movie property; determines whether the Stage is updated during Score recording (
FALSE
) or
not (
TRUE
). Read/write.
You can keep the Stage display constant during a Score recording session by setting
updateLock
to
TRUE
before script updates the Score. If
updateLock
is
FALSE
, the Stage updates to show a new
frame each time the frame is entered.
You can also use
updateLock
to prevent unintentional Score updating when leaving a frame, such
as when you temporarily leave a frame to examine properties in another frame.
Although this property can be used to mask changes to a frame during run time, be aware that
changes to field cast members appear immediately when the content is modified, unlike changes
to location or members with other sprites, which are not updated until this property is turned off.
