viewH
Syntax | `SetIconProperty(@"`IconTitle`", #viewH,` number`)` `SetIconProperty(@"`IconTitle`", #viewH,` number`)`
Type | Icon property, sprite property

Description

This property controls the horizontal coordinate of a Flash movie's view point. This point is specified in Flash movie pixel units. The point values can be floating-point numbers.

A Flash movie's view point is set relative to its origin point. For more information, see the `viewPoint` property.

Setting a positive value for `viewH` shifts the movie to the left inside the sprite; setting a negative value shifts the movie to the right. Therefore, changing the `viewH` property can have the effect of cropping the movie, or even of removing the movie from view entirely.

You can get and set the value of the `viewH` property. The default setting is 0.

Example

This routine moves the view of a Flash movie sprite from left to right within the sprite's bounding rectangle.

    repeat with i := 120 down to -120
        SetSpriteProperty(@"Flash Icon", #viewH, i )
    end repeat
