lineHeight (cast member property)

Syntax

    member(whichCastMember).lineHeight
    the lineHeight of member whichCastMember

Description

Cast member property; determines the line spacing used to display the specified field cast member. The parameter `whichCastMember` can be either a cast member name or number.

Setting the`lineHeight` member property temporarily overrides the system's setting until the movie closes. To use the desired line spacing throughout a movie, set the`lineHeight` member property in an `on prepareMovie` handler.

This property can be tested and set.

Example

This statement sets the variable `oldHeight` to the current `lineHeight` setting for the field cast member Rokujo Speaks:

    oldHeight = member("Rokujo Speaks").lineHeight
