Usage

-- Lingo syntax
zoomBox startSprite, endSprite {,delayTicks}

// JavaScript syntax
zoomBox(startSprite, endSprite {,delayTicks}); // not yet documented

Description

Command; creates a zooming effect, like the expanding windows in the Mac Finder. The zoom effect starts at a bounding rectangle of a specified starting sprite and finishes at the bounding rectangle of a specified ending sprite. The zoomBox command uses the following logic when executing:

1. Look for endSprite in the current frame: otherwise,
2. Look for endSprite in the next frame.

Note, however, that the zoomBox command does not work for endSprite if it is in the same channel as startSprite.

Parameters

startSprite Required. Specifies the starting sprite.

endSprite Required. Specifies the ending sprite.

delayTicks Optional. Specifies the delay in ticks between each movement of the zoom rectangles. If delayTicks is not specified, the delay is 1.

Example

This statement creates a zoom effect between sprites 7 and 3:

-- Lingo syntax
zoomBox 7, 3

// JavaScript syntax
zoomBox(7, 3); // not yet documented
