centerStage

Syntax

    the centerStage

Description

Movie property; determines whether the Stage is centered on the monitor when the movie is loaded (`TRUE,` default) or not centered (`FALSE`). Place the statement that includes this property in the movie that precedes the movie you want it to affect.

This property is useful for checking the Stage location before a movie plays from a projector.

This property can be tested and set.

Note: Be aware that behavior while playing back in a projector differs between Windows and Macintosh systems. Settings selected during creation of the projector may override this property.

Example

This statement sends the movie to a specific frame if the Stage is not centered:

    if the centerStage = FALSE then go to frame "Off Center"

Example

This statement changes the `centerStage` property to the opposite of its current value:

    set the centerStage to (not the centerStage)
