stageBottom

Syntax

    the stageBottom

Description

Function; along with `stageLeft`, `stageRight`, and `stageTop`, indicates where the Stage is positioned on the desktop. It returns the bottom vertical coordinate of the Stage relative to the upper left corner of the main screen. The height of the Stage in pixels is determined by `the stageBottom - the stageTop`.

When the movie plays back as an applet, the `stageBottom` property is the height of the applet in pixels.

This function can be tested but not set.

Example

These statements position sprite 3 a distance of 50 pixels from the bottom edge of the Stage:

    stageHeight = the stageBottom - the stageTop
    sprite(3).locV = stageHeight - 50

Sprite coordinates are expressed relative to the upper left corner of the Stage. See Using Director for more information.
