version 225
sprite...within
Usage
-- Lingo syntax
sprite(
sprite1 ).within( sprite2 )
sprite sprite1 within sprite2
Description
Keyword; operator that compares the position of two sprites and determines whether the quad of
sprite1
is entirely inside the quad of
sprite2
(
TRUE
) or not (
FALSE
).
If both sprites have matte ink, their actual outlines, not the quads, are used. A sprite’s outline is
defined by the nonwhite pixels that make up its border.
This is a comparison operator with a precedence level of 5.
Note: The dot operator is required whenever sprite1 is not a simple expression—that is, one that
contains a math operation.
Example
This statement checks whether two sprites intersect and calls the handler
doInside
if they do:
if sprite(3).within(2) then doInside
