About Sprites

A sprite is an object that controls when, where, and how cast members appear in a movie. You create sprites by placing cast members on the Stage or in the Score. Creating a Director movie consists largely of defining where sprites appear, when they appear in the movie, how they behave, and what their properties are. Different sprites can be created from a single cast member. Each sprite can have its own values for different properties, and most changes to these properties do not affect the cast member. Most changes to a cast member, however, will change sprites created from that cast member.

For information on creating and changing sprites, see Creating sprites.

All these sprites display one bitmap image with different attributes.
