Usage
-- Lingo syntax
spriteObjRef .ink
// JavaScript syntax
spriteObjRef .ink;
Description
Sprite property; determines the ink effect applied to a sprite. Read/write.
Valid values of
ink
are as follows:
In the case of 36 (background transparent), you select a sprite in the Score and select a
transparency color from the background color box in the Tools window. You can also do this by
setting the
backColor
property.
If you set this property within a script while the playhead is not moving, be sure to use the Movie
object’s
updateStage()
method to redraw the Stage. If you change several sprite properties—or
several sprites—use only one
updateStage()
method at the end of all the changes.
Example
This statement changes the variable currentInk to the value for the ink effect of sprite (3):
-- Lingo syntax
currentInk = sprite(3).ink
// JavaScript syntax
var currentInk = sprite(3).ink;
