Displaying sprite labels in the Score

Sprite labels appear in the Score's sprite bars and display key information about the sprite in relation to the movie. For example, if you detect a strange blip caused by an ink effect, you can turn on Ink display and quickly locate the problem in a sprite label. You can change the information that appears in labels; for example, you can use the Extended display option to display the precise location of a sprite in every frame.

To display sprite labels:

1 | With the Score as the active window, choose View > Sprite Labels.
2 | Choose from the following options:
| Keyframes
| Changes Only (shown at 800%)
| Every frame (shown at 800%)
| First frame
| Note that many options are useful only when the Score is zoomed to 400% or 800%.

To change sprite label options:

Choose a display option from the Display pop-up menu in the Score or from the View > Display menu.

| Member displays the name and number of the sprite's cast member.
| Behavior displays the behavior assigned to the sprite.
| Location displays the x and y coordinates of the sprite's registration point.
| Ink displays the ink effect applied to each sprite.
| Blend displays the blend percentage.
| Extended displays any combination of display options; choose options by choosing File > Preferences > Score.
