DisplayShortcuts

This class creates special properties used when controlling certain display classes, such as MovieClip.

Usage

First, import then initialize the class.

import caurina.transitions.properties.DisplayShortcuts;
DisplayShortcuts.init();

Then, you can use any of the special properties listed below on a normal tweening. See the introduction to special properties for more information.

Property name (AS2/AS3)	Description	Target type	Type	Compatibility Notes	Usual values	Related reference
_frame	The current frame of a MovieClip.	MovieClip	Number		From 1 to the object's total frame count	AS2: MovieClip._currentframe, MovieClip.gotoAndStop AS3: MovieClip.currentFrame, MovieClip.gotoAndStop
_autoAlpha	Opacity of an object. The same as _alpha (AS2) or alpha (AS3), but it automatically hides the object when the value reaches 0, setting its _visible (AS2) or visible (AS3) property to false, or show it when the value is above 0, setting it to true.

_scrollRect	Scrolling rectangle for the masking of an object, that is applied to the object as its scrollRect property.

If the object doesn't have a scrollRect defined, a rectangle of values (0, 0, 100, 100) is applied prior to tweening.
