lineSize

Syntax

    member(whichCastMember).lineSize
    the lineSize of member whichCastMember
    sprite whichSprite.lineSize
    the lineSize of sprite whichSprite

Description

Shape cast member property; determines the thickness, in pixels, of the border of the specified shape cast member displayed on the Stage. For nonrectangular shapes, the border is the edge of the shape, not its bounding rectangle.

The `lineSize` setting `of` the`` sprite takes precedence over the`lineSize` setting `of` the member. If Lingo changes the member's `lineSize` setting while a sprite is on the Stage, the sprite's `lineSize` setting remains in effect until the sprite is finished.

For the value set by Lingo to last beyond the current sprite, the sprite must be a puppet.

This property can be tested and set.

Example

This statement sets the thickness of the shape cast member Answer Box to 5 pixels:

    member("Answer Box").lineSize = 5

Example

This statement displays the thickness of the border of sprite 4:

    thickness = sprite(4).lineSize

Example

This statement sets the thickness of the border of sprite 4 to 3 pixels:

    sprite(4).lineSize = 3
