// JavaScript syntax
var whichCastMember = member("Power Switch").number;
This statement assigns the cast member Red Balloon to sprite 1:
-- Lingo syntax
sprite(1).member = member("Red Balloon").number
// JavaScript syntax
sprite(1).member = member("Red Balloon").number;
This verifies that a cast member actually exists before trying to switch the cast member in
the sprite:
-- Lingo syntax
property spriteNum
on mouseUp me
if (member("Mike's face").number > 0) then
sprite(spriteNum).member = "Mike's face"
end if
end
// JavaScript syntax
function mouseUp() {
if (member("Mike's face").number > 0) {
sprite(this.spriteNum).member = "Mike's face"
}
}
