Changing the appearance of sprites

You can change the appearance of sprites on the Stage without affecting the cast member assigned to the sprite. You can resize, rotate, skew, flip, and apply new foreground and background colors to sprites. Applying these changes allows you to reuse the same cast member to create several different versions of an image. For example, you can create a flipped and rotated sprite with a new color. Since each cast member adds to downloading time, reusing cast members in this way reduces the number of cast members in your movie and makes it download faster.
