Import an Image from Photoshop

The image will look best if you include an alpha channel.

Choose File-Import...
            Select your file,  Click Import.

Drag and drop the image from the Cast Window on to the Stage Window.

Edit the Score Script with Lingo

Double click the first box in the score script.  See the diagram below.



A script window will appear.  Type the following behavior in the score script.

on exitFrame
  go to the frame
end

Add a move behavior to the image on the stage.

Select the image on the stage.

Bring up the Window->Inspectors->Property Inspector.
   Go to the second tab  

         Hold down the +,  select New Behavior
         Name it moveit
         Click the script button   in the Property Inspector
         Type the following script:

on exitframe
  a = the currentSpriteNum
    sprite(a).locH = sprite(a).locH + 2
end

Hit the play arrow and run this, your image should be moving across the screen to the right.


Use Conditional Statements to change the location of the sprite.

on exitframe
a = the currentSpriteNum
sprite(a).locH = sprite(a).locH + 2     --move the image to the right continuously.

if sprite(a).locH >= 88 then   --if the image has moved past 88 put it to 0.
   sprite(a).locH = 0
end if


Use a Property and Conditional Statements to change the direction.

property direction   -- I made this up, it is not a lingo term.

on beginsprite    -- This operator runs once to establish things.
  a = the currentSpriteNum
  sprite(a).direction = true
end

on exitframe             -- This operator runs continuously.
a = the currentSpriteNum
if sprite(a).direction = true then
    sprite(a).locH = sprite(a).locH + 2
else
    sprite(a).locH = sprite(a).locH - 2
end if

if sprite(a).locH >= 88 then
   sprite(a).direction = false
end if

if sprite(a).locH < 9 then
   sprite(a).direction = true
end if
