In the Director environment, Lingo animation is done by changing sprite and cast member properties. It is sufficient for most of this tutorial to work with a single sprite's loch and locv properties to demonstrate how the numbers are behaving.

Usually the programming will be done in a behavior script attached to the sprite, and the playback head will stay in a single frame.

Standard Setup

For the sprite, use any small image you'd like. If you haven't attached a script to a sprite before, see Director's Help.
