MIAW shape

[Jonathan Hall]

Does anyone know how to use a mask to change the displayed shape of the
stage. I know this is possible as I have seen it before - just can't
remember how it was done and whether it was a miaw or the actual main movie.

Thanks

In DirMX 2004 the easiest way to change the shape of the stage is to click on
the stage window, and then look at the property inspector. You should see a
Display Template tab. On that tab you can select the mask for the stage.

You can set the windowType of a miaw to a bitmap member acting as a
mask, test it with a projector. Migot work the same for (the
stage).windowtype, I don't recall.

In "old school" lingo you can do (put, set...you make the call)

put (the stage).appearanceOptions.mask
put (the stage).appearanceOptions.dragRegionMask

but now you can do it with a bit more flare

put _movie.stage.appearanceOptions.mask
put _movie.stage.appearanceOptions.dragRegionMask
