Displaying sprite labels in the Score

Sprite labels appear in the Score's sprite bars and display key information about the sprite in relation to the movie. For example, if you detect a strange blip caused by an ink effect, you can select Ink from the Sprite label pop-up menu and quickly locate the problem in those sprites that have Ink properties by sorting by the Ink label. You can select the way information displays in channels by selecting from the different sprite labels available; for example, you can use the Extended display option to display the precise location of a sprite in every frame. i

To display sprite labels:

With the Score as the active window, do one of the following:
- Select View > Sprite Labels.
- Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Macintosh) on any Score channel, and select Sprite Labels.
Select from the following options:
- Keyframes
- Changes Only (shown at 800%)
- Every frame (shown at 800%)
- First frame
- None

To change sprite label options:

Select a display option from the Display pop-up menu in the Score or from the View > Display menu.
Name displays the name of the sprite.

Cast Member displays the name and number of the sprite's cast member.

Behavior displays the behavior that is assigned to the sprite.

Location displays the x and y coordinates of the sprite's registration point.
