Using actions to set sprite properties

Use the following actions to set sprite properties:

Sprite Set Matrix

Sets the position of the target sprite. Choose the track from the Track menu, and then choose the target sprite from the Sprite menu. The Position text box displays the current position of the sprite.

Sprite Set Image Index

Selects the image for the target sprite. This action creates mouseover or rollover effects. Choose the track from the Track menu, and then choose the target sprite from the Sprite menu. From the pop-up menu below the Sprite menu, choose the target image, and then a thumbnail of the image appears in the Actions tab.

Sprite Set Visible

Shows or hides the target sprite. Choose the track from the Track menu, and then choose the target sprite from the Sprite menu. The Visible option shows and hides the sprite.

Sprite Set Layer

Sets the target sprite's layer number, specifying its front-to-back order relative to other sprites on the same track. Choose the track from the Track menu, and then choose the target sprite from the Sprite menu. The Layer text box displays the selected sprite layer number. You can enter a number to move the selected sprite forward or backward. The lower the layer number, the closer to the viewer the sprite appears.
