left

Usage

-- Lingo syntax
spriteObjRef.left

// JavaScript syntax
spriteObjRef.left;

Description

Sprite property; identifies the left horizontal coordinate of the bounding rectangle of a sprite. Read/write.

Sprite coordinates are measured in pixels, starting with (0,0) at the upper left corner of the Stage.

Example

The following statement determines whether the sprite's left edge is to the left of the Stage's left edge. If the sprite's left edge is to the Stage's left edge, the script runs the handler offLeftEdge:

-- Lingo syntax
if (sprite(3).left < 0) then
   offLeftEdge()
end if

// JavaScript syntax
if (sprite(3).left < 0) {
   offLeftEdge();
}

This statement measures the left horizontal coordinate of the sprite numbered (i + 1) and assigns the value to the variable named vLowest:

-- Lingo syntax
vLowest = sprite(i + 1).left

// JavaScript syntax
var vLowest = sprite(i + 1).left
