Displaying sprite labels in the Score
Sprite labels appear in the Score’s sprite bars and display key information about the sprite in
relation to the movie. For example, if you detect a strange blip caused by an ink effect, you can
turn on Ink display and quickly locate the problem in a sprite label. You can change the
information that appears in labels; for example, you can use the Extended display option to
display the precise location of a sprite in every frame.
To display sprite labels:
1
With the Score as the active window, do one of the following:
•
Select View > Sprite Labels.
•
Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Macintosh) on any Score channel, and select
Sprite Labels.
2
Select from the following options:
•
Keyframes
•
Changes Only (shown at 800%)
•
Every frame (shown at 800%)
•

Many options are useful only when the Score is zoomed to 400% or 800%.
