TITLE:Chapter 4: The_Display_List #contents * The Display List [#The_Display_List] - Displaying a frame of a SWF file is a three-stage process: - 1. Objects are defined with definition tags such as DefineShape, DefineSprite, and so on. Each object is given a unique ID called a character, and is stored in a repository called the dictionary. - 2. Selected characters are copied from the dictionary and placed on the display list, which is the list of the characters that will be displayed in the next frame. - 3. Once complete, the contents of the display list are rendered to the screen with ShowFrame. ... ** Clipping layers [#Clipping_layers] ** Using the display list [#Using_the_display_list] ** Display list tags [#Display_list_tags] *** PlaceObject [#PlaceObject] *** PlaceObject2 [#PlaceObject2] *** PlaceObject3 [#PlaceObject3] *** ClipEventFlags [#ClipEventFlags] *** RemoveObject [#RemoveObject] *** RemoveObject2 [#RemoveObject2] *** ShowFrame [#ShowFrame] |
