Parameters
objectType
Required. Specifies the type of new object to create.
arg1, arg2, ...
Optional. Specifies any initialization arguments required by the object. Each
argument must be separated by a comma.
Example
This Lingo sets the variable
tLocalConObject
to a reference to a new
LocalConnection
object
in the Flash movie in sprite 3:
-- Lingo syntax
tLocalConObject = sprite(3).newObject("LocalConnection")
// JavaScript syntax
var tLocalConObject = sprite(3).newObject("LocalConnection");
The following Lingo sets the variable
tArrayObject
to a reference to a new array object in the
Flash movie in sprite 3. The array contains the 3 integer values 23, 34, and 19.
-- Lingo syntax
tArrayObject = sprite(3).newObject("Array",23,34,19)
// JavaScript syntax
var tArrayObject = sprite(3).newObject("Array",23,34,19);

newShader
Usage
member( whichCastmember ).newShader( newShaderName , #shaderType )
Description
3D command; creates a new shader of a specified shader type within a referenced cast member’s
shader list and returns a reference to the new shader.
Each type of shader has a specific group of properties that can be used with that type of shader, in
addition all shader types have access to the
#standard
shader properties. However, although you
can assign any
#standard
shader property to a shader of another type, the property may not have
a visual effect. This happens in cases where the #standard property, if applied, would override the
nature of the shader type. An example of this is the
diffuseLightMap
standard shader property,
which is ignored by
#engraver
,
#newsprint
, and
#painter
type shaders.
