ADOBE DIRECTOR 11.0 980 Scripting Dictionary Description Cast member property and sprite property; controls the way a Flash movie or vector shape is scaled within a sprite's bounding rectangle. When you scale a Flash movie sprite by setting its scale and viewScale properties, the sprite itself is not scaled; only the view of the movie within the sprite is scaled. The scaleMode property can have these values: • #showAll (default for Director movies prior to version 7)-Maintains the aspect ratio of the original Flash movie cast member. If necessary, fill in any gap in the horizontal or vertical dimension using the background color. • #noBorder-Maintains the aspect ratio of the original Flash movie cast member. If necessary, crop the horizontal or vertical dimension. • #exactFit-Does not maintain the aspect ratio of the original Flash movie cast member. Stretch the Flash movie to fit the exact dimensions of the sprite. • #noScale-preserves the original size of the Flash media, regardless of how the sprite is sized on the Stage. If the sprite is made smaller than the original Flash movie, the movie displayed in the sprite is cropped to fit the bounds of the sprite. • #autoSize (default)-This specifies that the sprite rectangle is automatically sized and positioned to account for rotation, skew, flipH, and flipV. This means that when a Flash sprite is rotated, it will not crop as in earlier versions of Director. The #autoSize setting only functions properly when scale, viewScale, originPoint, and viewPoint are at their default values. This property can be tested and set. Example The following sprite script checks the Stage color of the Director movie and, if the Stage color is indexed to position 0 in the current palette, the script sets the scaleMode property of a Flash movie sprite to #showAll. Otherwise, it sets the scaleMode property to #noBorder. -- Lingo syntax property spriteNum on beginsprite me if _movie.stage.bgColor = 0 then sprite(spriteNum).scaleMode = #showAll else sprite(spriteNum).scaleMode = #noBorder end if end // JavaScript syntax function beginsprite() { var stgClr = _movie.stage.bgColor; if (stgClr == 0) { sprite(this.spriteNum).scaleMode = symbol("showAll"); } else { sprite(this.spriteNum).scaleMode = symbol("noBorder"); } } See also scale (Member)
