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 select Ink from the Sprite Label menu and
quickly locate the problem in those sprites that have Ink properties by sorting the Ink label. You can select the way
information appears in channels by selecting from the available sprite labels. For example, you can use the Extended
display option to display the precise location of a sprite in every frame.
