Description
Sprite property; identifies the left horizontal coordinate of the bounding rectangle of a sprite.

Sprite coordinates are measured in pixels, starting with (0,0) at the upper left corner of the Stage.
Example
The following statement determines whether the sprite’s left edge is to the left of the Stage’s left
edge. If the sprite’s left edge is to the Stage’s left edge, the script runs the handler
offLeftEdge
:
-- Lingo syntax
if (sprite(3).left < 0) then
offLeftEdge()
end if
// JavaScript syntax
if (sprite(3).left < 0) {
offLeftEdge();
}
This statement measures the left horizontal coordinate of the sprite numbered (i + 1) and assigns
the value to the variable named
vLowest
:
-- Lingo syntax
vLowest = sprite(i + 1).left
// JavaScript syntax
var vLowest = sprite(i + 1).left
