Naming sprites

Assign a name to a sprite by using the Property inspector and then view the sprite by name in the Score and on the
Stage. Assigning a name lets you refer to the sprite by that name in Lingo or JavaScript syntax and not just by the
channel number that it occupies. You can move a sprite to a different channel and not worry about changing scripts
that once referred to the sprite by its channel number. The sprite name is different from a cast member name because
a sprite is an instance of that cast member. If you want the sprite name to be displayed in the Score and Stage, select
Edit > Preferences > Score > Name. (If you are using a Mac OS X operating system, select the Director menu, instead
of the Edit menu, to access Preferences.) For more information, see
Name a sprite by using the Property inspector
