How to Change the Appearance of Director Stage Objects

Add a jazzy look to a Macromedia Director movie by changing the color and apprearance of Stage Objects. These instructions apply to Macromedia Director 5.0. Procedures for other versions may vary.

  1. Open or create a movie in Macromedia Director.
  2. Step 2

    View the Cast and Score windows from the Window menu. On the Score window, go to the frame that is to contain the altered Cast Member.

  3. Step 3

    Click in the channel (i.e., a little square) in the frame that is to contain the new sprite (i.e., the copy of the Cast Member).

  4. Step 4

    Locate the Cast Member in the Cast window, then drag that Member onto the Stage. It is now a sprite (i.e., is copied) on Stage and in the Score window.

  5. Step 5

    Click on that sprite to select it.

  6. Step 6

    Locate the Ink Box in the left-hand side of the Score window and click it. A menu of inks appears.

  7. Step 7

    Choose and click on the ink that you want to apply to that sprite. The sprite on Stage changes color.
