// JavaScript syntax
memberOrSpriteObjRef.translation;
Description
QuickTime cast member and sprite property; controls the offset of a QuickTime sprite's image
within the sprite's bounding box.
This offset is expressed in relation to the sprite's default location as set by its
property. When
rectangle; when
bounding rectangle.
The offset, specified in pixels as positive or negative integers, is set as a Director list: [
]. The
yTrans xTrans
the parameter specifies the vertical offset. The default setting is [0,0].
yTrans
When the sprite's
portions of the QuickTime movie by moving them outside the bounding rectangle. When the
property is set to
crop
positioned at the upper left corner of the sprite's rectangle.
This property can be tested and set.
Example
The following frame script assumes that the center property of the cast member of a 320-pixel-
wide QuickTime sprite in channel 5 is set to
the playhead in the current frame until the movie's horizontal translation point has moved to the
right edge of the sprite, in 10-pixel increments. This has a wipe right effect, moving the sprite out
of view to the right. When the sprite is out of view, the playhead continues to the next frame.
