The doubleClick message is generated whenever the user double-clicks on an object. When a physical cell of a dataSheet or pickList is clicked, two parameters are sent with the doubleClick message identifying the row and column of the data that was clicked.
When a bitmap is clicked, the doubleClick message carries a parameter that describes the color value of the pixel that was clicked.
For fields, two parameters are sent with the doubleClick message. The first parameter contains the text of the word that was clicked on. The second parameter contains the position of that word in the field i.e., what number word it is. To get the two parameters, the field's lockText must be set to true.
Notes:
The first click of a double-click sends mouseDown and mouseUp messages; the second click sends doubleClick and mouseUp messages.
The speed of the double-click is determined by system settings.

This command performs the equivalent of dragging the mouse from one location to another. The two locations are screen coordinates. In each case, the first number represents a horizontal offset, and the second represents a vertical offset. Offsets are measured in pixels from the top
left corner of the screen.
The drag command can be used with the Ctrl, Alt, or Shift keys to create additional effects. For example, to select text in a field using the drag command, you must use with shiftkey. In all other cases, using the with option results in the same action as holding down the specified key while dragging.

PURE+TXT
The line continuation character (
) allows a single line of Oracle Media Talk code to span multiple lines in the script editing window. The line continuation character also allows you to create extended strings; the character is replaced by two spaces when the string is processed.
You create the line continuation character by pressing Shift-Enter in Windows (Option-L on the Macintosh) while in the script editing window. The line continuation character has no effect on the way the code is processed; it is solely a visual aid to the developer.
Notes:
The line continuation character must be the last character on a line.TAIL
PURE+TXT
Consider the following pickList handler:
on mouseEnter
put "your name" into col 3 of lst id 5
end mouseEnter
The handler can be written using a line continuation character to split the second line, and is exactly equivalent to the original handler:
on mouseUp
put "your name"
into col 3 of lst id 5
end mouseUpTAIL

-- <comment>ADDD
The double hyphen (--), or comment symbol, prefaces a comment in the script editing window. Everything between the comment symbol and the next return is ignored by the Oracle Media Talk parser. There can be no intervening spaces or other symbols between the hyphens.
Code comments are a very useful means of documenting how your application works. Oracle Media Talk code is already very intuitive and easy to read, but comments can help clarify the purpose of ambiguous operations.
Commenting can also be a useful way to temporarily disable part of your script without deleting code.
Notes:
Many systems convert the double hyphen (--) to an em dash (

Meaning: Acclerator key to follow
Example: "Delete/D"
Character: &
Meaning: Character key equivalent to follow (MS-Windows only)

Example: "First;Last;Recent"
Disabled items are grayed out
Accelerator keys are preceded by the ^ symbol on Windows (the Command key on Macintosh)
The character key equivalent is the underlined letter of the menu item on Windows
Notes:
You can add duplicate entries to a menu, but only the first entry can be affected by other scripting elements such as enable and disable.
You cannot create your own File or Edit menus, nor can you delete or modify anything on the existing File or Edit menus.
Once created, a submenu cannot be deleted unless the top-level menu item to which it is attached is deleted, or you reset the menuItems property.
Character keys are used in Windows. Accelerator keys are used on both the Windows and Macintosh platforms.

The anchorPoint property is a pair of x,y coordinates that determine the location on an animated object that will act as the anchor point to the path.
<x,y> reflects, respectively, the horizontal proportion from the left edge of the animated object and then the vertical proportion from the top edge of the animated object, separated by a comma. The point 0,0 represents the upper left corner of the animated object, while 100,100 is the lower right. <x,y> are integer values.
In other words, if you want a button to travel along the path, touching the path route with its top left corner, you would specify the anchorPoint of the path to 0,0, indicating the top left corner of the button.
The default value of the anchorPoint property is 50,50, which reflects the center of the animated object.

The animate from command animates the movement of an object from one location to another.
For all objects, the animate from command moves the object from the first x,y coordinate to the second x,y coordinate in the amount of time you specify. Time is measured in ticks (sixtieths of a second), seconds, or milliseconds. The animate from command modifies the object's location property.
The accelerate modifier causes the animation to increase in speed from beginning to end. The decelerate modifier causes the animation to decrease in speed from beginning to end. The natural modifier causes the animation to accelerate at the beginning and to decelerate at the end. If no modifier is used, the animation progresses at a constant speed.
The step option allows you to specify the number of units during which each object is visible. This option makes sense only if you are animating multiple objects.

For Bezier motion, the primary and secondary points are used to generate the curve. The control points are used to indicate the tangent vectors at the beginning and end of the leg.
Setting the controlPoint property without a modifier causes both control points to be set to the same value, generating a quadratic Bezier curve. If the points are different, the leg follows a cubic Bezier curve. By default, controlPoints are set to the midpoint of the path, which generates a simple straight line.

The bufferSize property determines the size of the memory buffer used by the Macintosh Sound Manager when the sound object is playing from a sound file. Application designers can use this property for better sound playback, for example, while running from CD
ROMs where high seek times could be offset by larger buffer sizes for quality playback. The bufferSize value is defined and retrieved using the current units.
The default value of bufferSize is .5 seconds. The minimum value is 0 seconds.
Notes:
The bufferSize property applies only to sounds played on a Macintosh.
Be careful about setting the bufferSize property to unexpected values. If there is not a sound file associated with your sound object, you can still modify bufferSize if the units property is set to milliseconds, ticks, or seconds. If the units property is set to samples, however, then you should not attempt to get or set the bufferSize property. If you try to get or set bufferSize in this situation while working in the authoring environment of Oracle Media Objects, then you will get an error message. If you attempt to modify bufferSize under these circumstances while working in the runtime player, the default rate of 22KHz will be used to calculate the value of bufferSize.TAIL

Standard Oracle Media Objects alert boxes are often quite useful when debugging scripts because they pinpoint the type and exact location of the script error.

ControllerVisible PropertyTAIL
T+TXT
set the controllerVisible of <movie> to <boolean>ADDD
E+TXT
The controllerVisible property allows the developer to attach a controller to any movie style. A value of true means that the controller is visible. A value of false means that the controller is not visible.
The default value of controllerVisible is false.
Notes:
You cannot modify a movie's style while controllerVisible is set to true. You also cannot set controllerVisible while the movie's style is set to control.
If you change the size of the movie's rectangle after setting the controllerVisible to true, the controller will take up part of the new rectangle instead of attaching to the movie object. This means that if you then set controllerVisible to false after resizing the rectangle, you will lose that part of the rectangle that was occupied by the controller.
The controllerVisible property cannot be modified from either the toolbar or the info dialog box; it is available through scripting only.TAIL

Me contains a generic reference to the object that owns the script that is currently being executed.TAIL
The members property determines which objects are contained by a particular group object. The value of the members property is a return-delimited list of references to each object contained by the group.
The following is a legal use of the members property:
set the members of group id 1 to the reference
of card btn 1 & return & the reference of fld 3
Because the list you specified was return delimited, you cannot get the full list returned to the Message Box. To get the values of a group with more than one member, create a field named "container" and type the following into the Message Box:
put the members of grp 1 into fld "container"
You can also set the members property to a return-delimited list of object references contained in another object, or in a variable. For example:
set the members of group id 1 to field 3
set the members of group id 1 to myGroup
Notes:
You must set the members property to a reference of an object; otherwise Oracle Media Objects assumes that you wish to set the value of the members property to the data contained within the object. For instance, the following statement results in an "Object has no data" error message:.
set the members of group id 1 to button 1

The mouseStillDown message is not issued if the user places the insertion point or makes a selection in an unlocked field. In this case, all movements of the mouse and all keystrokes are processed directly by Oracle Media Objects.

The application path name length and the document name length are each limited to 63 characters, not including the enclosing quotation marks. Thus, the maximum length of the entire open <application> command string is:
Length: 70 characters

PURE+TXT
The on keyword marks the beginning of a message handler and associates the handler with a particular message. <MessageName> is the message which the handler will intercept.
When an object receives a message, Oracle Media Objects looks at the object's script to see if it contains a handler for the message. If Oracle Media Objects finds a handler, it executes the script statements following the on <messageName> statement. The handler is executed until Oracle Media Objects encounters an exit, end, pass, or return statement.
Notes:
Handlers cannot be nested within other handlers or functions. For example, an on statement cannot appear between another on statement or a function statement and its end statement.
The value you provide for <messageName> must be one word, must begin with a letter, and cannot include any punctuation marks (except underscores). The same holds true for the value provided for <parameter>.
Parameters must be delimited by commas.TAIL

The commands that return values to the result are:

Often, if a command executes successfully, the result function returns nothing.
Notes:
If a message handler includes a return statement, the value specified in the return statement is stored in the result.
The value of the result is reset by execution of another command and at the end of the currently executing handler. The value contained in the result is therefore extremely transient and should immediately be saved to another variable if further use is planned for it.TAIL

The pass control statement is used to interrupt a message handler and pass the message that invoked the handler to the next object in the message-passing hierarchy.
The pass control statement can be used in conjunction with the doMenu message to respond to certain navigational commands. For instance, if the user were on the last card of a stack and chose Last from the Navigation menu, normally nothing would happen. However, the command can be intercepted with a message that tells the user that the current card is the last card.
URE+TXT
To try this, navigate to the last card of a stack and put the following into its script:
on doMenu menuItem
if menuItem is "Last" then answer
"This is the last card"
else pass doMenu
end doMenu
Choose Last from the Navigation menu. The message "This is the last card" appears on the screen. Choosing any other command from the menu bar produces the customary result because you have passed the message up the hierarchy.TAIL

The endSize property allows you to set the size of an object at the end of its trip down a path or leg of a path. The object is smoothly scaled between the starting size, which you set using the startSize property, and the endSize according to the acceleration profile. <integer, integer> refers to the intended width and height of the object. For example, a value of 100,100 indicates an object that is 100 pixels wide and 100 pixels tall. The default endSize is 100,100.
This property is useful if you want an object to grow or shrink during its journey. This property is particularly important if you are creating three
dimensional effects, in which you need to use object size to present the illusion of distance and perspective on your two
dimensional screen.
You can set the endSize property to apply to either the entire path or to a particular leg. If you want to specify different endSize values for each leg of the path, you must set the playStyle property to uselegScaling.

This property only specifies the ending size of the object. To resize the object along the path, you must also enable the scaling property.TAIL

The fore+TXT
The foreColor property determines the foreground color of an object. It is also a global painting property.
For buttons, forecolor is the color of the text of the label and the outline if the button's style is not set to transparent or opaque.
For shapes, forecolor determines the color used to draw the lines of a shape object. This means that foreColor sets the line color of line
style shapes, the border color of rectangle
style shapes, and the label's color.
Setting the foreColor property for global painting sets the foreColor universally used by the paint tools.
The range for colors is identified by numbers from 0 to 255. In addition, 16 colors can be referred to by name; see on page .
When you select an object, Oracle Media Objects displays the foreground color in the toolbar palette labeled F for shapes, buttons, and bitmaps, and T for fields.
When setting the foreColor property, you can use a number or a named color constant for the <color> parameter. However, the value of the foreColor property is always returned as a number.
Notes:
For fields, setting the foreColor property has the same result as setting the textColor.

Global Control StatementTAIL

global <variable> [,<variable>, <variable>]...ADDD
PURE+TXT
The global control statement declares one or more variables to be global variables that stay defined when the handlers in which they are used have finished being executed. A global variable can be accessed from across any number of handlers. A local variable becomes undefined when the handler in which it was defined is terminated.
Before using a global variable, a handler must declare the variable using the global keyword. In other words, for global mynumber to work correctly, every handler in which you use it must include a global mynumber statement.
Consider the following handler:
on mouseUp
put 1 into mynumber
end mouseUp
The variable mynumber will not be retained after the mouseUp subroutine is terminated. If you want to continue using this variable, you must either store it in a field or declare it as a global, as follows:
on mouseUp
global mynumber
put 1 into mynumber
end mouseUp
Then another handler can use the same variable, as long as it declares mynumber as well:
on mouseDown
global mynumber
answer mynumber
end mouseDown
You can also set a list of global variables to be used simultaneously:
on mouseUp
global mynumber1, mynumber2, mynumber3

The func+TXT
The function control statement defines a handler that performs the tasks in the statement list, which can include calculating and returning a value. The function may receive parameters when it is called. The parameters, if used, take the form of a list of local variable names separated by commas.
A function handler differs from other handlers, such as message handlers and XCMDs, in that a function always returns a value. This value can be numerical, logical, or text. The return value is determined by the return statement in the Oracle Media Talk code of the function.
The major purpose of functions is to shorten scripts and make it easier for you to change scripts by separating frequently made calculations from the remainder of the script.
A function is called by stating its name and providing values for its parameters. Enclose the values in parentheses and separate them with commas. For example:
put <functionName>
([<parameter1, parameter2, ...>]) into <variable>
Notes:
The <functionName> must begin with a letter and contain no spaces and no punctuation other than underscores.TAIL

The go command takes you to the specified [destination]. Valid destinations are the following:

If you don't specify otherwise, Oracle Media Objects assumes that the destination card is the first card in the specified stack. Oracle Media Objects assumes that you want to go to the current stack unless you specify another stack. If you go to a background, you go to the next card with that background (not to the first card). If the current card has the specified background, you remain in the current card.
Notes:
To specify a card, you must include the word "card," or "cd," and the name, number, position, or ID of a card in a stack. Note that you cannot access a card using the go command if the card's name is a number. In the case that you have a card named "3" and a card number 3, the command go card "3" will go to card number 3, not to card "3".
To specify the background, you must include the word "background," or "bg," and the name, number, position, or ID of a background in a stack.
To specify a stack, you must include the word "stack" and the name, number, or ID of any stack. You can specify a visual effect to be used on opening the card by issuing the visual effect command before you use the go command.
Go back takes you to the last card visited, whether that card is in the current stack or another stack.TAIL

The inkEffect property of a dataSheet or bitmap lets you specify how a bitmap is drawn with respect to its background. (If you are a Macintosh developer, you may know ink effects as "transfer modes.")
Because the results of the ink effects are determined mathematically, it may be difficult to predict these results unless you understand how colors work on the Macintosh. For an explanation, see the Oracle Media Objects User's Guide.
Notes:
For Windows, you cannot use auto
align bitmaps with ink effects.
The following list specifies each ink effect, its corresponding Macintosh transfer mode, and the result. These ink effects work on a pixel by pixel basis. Note that you can also specify an ink effect using its Macintosh transfer mode name.
Ink effect: Transparent
Macintosh transfer mode: Transparent
What it does: The transparent ink effect compares the colors in the bitmap to the color specified on the inkColor property. It then makes everything in the bitmap that matches the inkColor transparent, so that other objects are visible through those portions of the selected bitmap.
Ink effect: Blend
Macintosh transfer mode: Blend
What it does: Draws the bitmap so that it is a blend of its original color and the color of the background.
Blend uses the inkColor property to determine what percentage of the bitmap's color it should combine with what percentage of the background color. The resulting color is actually a combination of that percentage of the bitmap's color and the inverse percentage of the background's color.
Ink effect: Add
Macintosh transfer mode: Addpin
What it does: Creates a new color by adding together the numerical color component values of the bitmap and of the background.
You can set a maximum color limit on the resulting color using the inkColor property. So, if the value of the resulting color exceeds that of the inkColor, the result will match the inkColor.
Ink effect: Subtract
Macintosh transfer mode: Subpin
What it does: Creates a new color by subtracting the numerical color component values of the bitmap from that of the background.
You can set a minimum color limit on the resulting color using the inkColor property. So, if the value of the resulting color drops below that of the inkColor, the result will match the inkColor
Ink effect: Invert
Macintosh transfer mode: Notcopy
What it does: Creates a new color by subtracting the numerical color component values of the bitmap from that of the background.
You can set a minimum color limit on the resulting color using the inkColor property. So, if the value of the resulting color drops below that of the inkColor, the result will match the inkColor
Ink effect: Lighter
Macintosh transfer mode: Addmax
What it does: Compares the numerical color component values of the bitmap with those of the background. It then chooses the lighter of each, and displays the resulting bitmap in the combination of lighter colors
Ink effect: Darker
Macintosh transfer mode: Addmin
What it does: Same as lighter, only it chooses the darker of the color component valuesTAIL

Insert Leg CommandTAIL

For paths:
insert leg <number> into <path>
[with <startPoint | endPoint> <x,y>]ADDD
The inse+TXT
The insert leg command creates a new leg and moves all existing legs "forward" in the path. For example, if you insert leg 3, then the existing leg 3 becomes leg 4, leg 4 becomes leg 5, etc. The startpoint of the (number+1) leg, if it exists, is then automatically set to be the endpoint of the new leg number. There must be at least number-1 existing legs, otherwise an error is raised.
When adding a leg to a path, one point is always determined by the point of insertion, since the leg will be connected to another existing leg, leaving one point to be optionally specified by the developer.
The new leg has as its startpoint the endpoint of the (number-1) leg and uses the optionally specified endpoint, or else selects the midpoint of the former leg number as its default endPoint. To specify the endpoint, rather than accepting the default you would type:
insert leg <number> into <path> with endPoint <x,y>
where the leg number is greater than 1.
If you are inserting a new leg number 1, then the endPoint is determined by the startPoint of the old leg 1, now leg 2, and you have the option of specifying the startPoint:
insert leg 1 into <path> with startPoint <x,y>TAIL

The library command allows an Oracle Media Objects stack to obtain resources such as scripts and preprogrammed objects from another stack. Two major advantages of using a library stack are the ease of maintenance and potential space-saving capability. For example, you can store complicated scripts in separate stacks, which are available for use from other applications. This way, commonly-used or lengthy scripts need not be included in every application, and can be maintained at a central location.
The library command inserts the stack script of the libraried stack into the message-passing hierarchy between the already libraried stacks and the currently open stack.
The number of library stacks you create is limited only by the amount of space you have available.TAIL

When the user types while the selection point is blinking in a field (that is, there is no selection), <selectionstart> is the position of the character after the insertion point, and <selectionend> has a value that is one less than the value of <selectionstart>. If you pass keyPressed, the character is inserted at the insertion point.
This message may be intercepted to implement custom validation. Don't forget to use pass keyPressed, or what the user types will not appear.
Notes:
When determining character positions within a field, returns are counted as characters.TAIL

The star+TXT
The start command tells a timer to go off after a specified amount of time. You can start a timer in one of two modes: single fire or multi-fire.
In single fire mode, the timer goes off once, at the time you specify, using the default timerExpired message. To start a timer in single fire mode, just use the start command with the expire option. The expire option tells Oracle Media Object to start the timer in single fire mode.
In multi-fire mode, the timer goes off as many times as you specify on the messages property, and sends the corresponding message(s) that you also specify on that property.
To start a timer in multi-fire mode, take the following steps:
1. Using the messages property, specify the time intervals at which the timer should go off, and the corresponding messages that should be sent.
2. Start the timer using the start command without the expire option. Note that using the expire option overrides the settings on the messages property (that you set in Step 1, above) and starts the timer in single fire mode.
Notes:
If you start a timer in single fire mode, any settings on the messages property are ignored.
If you specify a unit of time (seconds, milliseconds, or ticks) on the start command, the unit of time set on the units property is ignored.TAIL

The mous+TXT
The mouseUp message is sent to the top non hidden object under the mouse pointer when the mouse button is clicked and released. If the mouse is clicked and released outside the physical dimensions of an object, a mouseUp message is sent to the card and then travels up the message hierarchy until it is handled.
If the user clicks on a physical cell of a dataSheet or dataSheet or pickList, two parameters are sent with the mouseUp message identifying the row and column of the data that was clicked. For chart objects, these parameters identify the cell whose values are associated with the selected bar, line, or pie wedge.
For bitmap objects, the mouseUp message carries a parameter that describes the color of the pixel that was clicked on. Bitmap objects do not receive a mouseUp message unless the mouse pointer is positioned over a painted, non white pixel.
For fields, two parameters are sent with the mouseUp message. The first parameter contains the text of the word that was clicked on. The second parameter contains the position of that word in the field i.e., what number word it is. To get the two parameters, the field's lockText must be set to true.
Notes:
The mouseUp message is not issued if the user places the insertion point or makes a selection in an unlocked field or dataSheet cell. In this case, all movements of the mouse and all keystrokes are processed directly by Oracle Media Objects.TAIL

For dataSheet or pickList and dataSheet columns:

PURE+TXT
The name property determines the short, long, or class name of a specified object, or the name of a dataSheet, pickList, or chart or dataSheet column, or the name of a chart row. The short name of an object determines the text of the object's label, if visible. The name of a row or column determines the text of that row's or column's label, if visible.
The default name of an object is the object's class name followed by the object's ID number; for example:
field "field id 3"
The [abbreviated | abbrev] name is equivalent to the name.
The following lists the four different formats of the name property for objects.
Form: the name
Format: Returns the type of object
Example: card field "field id 3"
stack "emp.sta"
Form: the class name
Format: Returns the type of object
Example: field
stack
Form: the short name
Format: Returns the type and name of the object
Example: field id 3
emp.sta
Form: the long name
Format: Returns the type of object, the name of the object, the full information about the object's location, and for stacks, the path or folder where the object is located.
Example: card field "field id 3" of card id 2911 of bg id 2616 of stack "untitled"
stack "c:¥omo¥emp.sta"
stack "Macintosh HD:Oracle Media
Objects:emp
Each of these formats recognizes letters, digits, spaces, and symbols as part of an object's name property.
Notes:
See the class name property for more information on class names.
The value set by the name property is the short name; if you want to retrieve only the name that you have assigned to an object, without the class name, you must reference the short name property.
If you retrieve the name of an object that does not have a user-defined name, Oracle Media Objects returns the object's default name (class name and ID number, as in field "field id 3").TAIL
The following example demonstrates the differences between the three formats of the name property.
Create a button and name it "test". Type the following scripts into the Message Box and press Enter after each:
put the name of button "test"
put the short name of button "test"
put the long name of button "test"
To change the name of the button, type the following in the Message Box and press Enter:
set the name of button "test" to "newname"
Create a pickList named Employees. Type the following lines into the Message Box and press Enter after each:
set the name of col 1 of lst Employees
to "Employee ID"
set the name of col 2 of lst Employees
to "Last Name"
set the name of col 3 of lst Employees

Messages PropertyTAIL
+T+TXT
set the messages of <movie | path | sound |
timer> to "<number>,<string>" [& return &
"<number>,<string>" [...]]ADDD
PURE+TXT
The messages property specifies a list of callbacks or user-defined messages that will be delivered during the playback of a movie, path, or sound. <number> is expressed in the current units, is relative to the object's playStart property, and can be any value between 0 and the object's playDuration. <string> can be no more than fifteen characters, and cannot have spaces.
For timers, the messages property lets you specify the time interval(s) at which a timer goes off, and the corresponding message(s) sent at each time. The settings for this property are overridden if you start the timer in single fire mode (by specifying the expire option when starting the timer).
You must list the time intervals in ascending order.
Notes:
Any messages that are specified in the messages property will fire synchronously. This means that they will not interrupt other handlers that your application is executing at the time.
Each time interval and message pair must be enclosed in quotes, and must be delimited by line returns as shown in the example.
For sounds, be careful about setting the messages property to unexpected values. If there is not a sound file associated with your sound object, you can still modify messages if the units property is set to milliseconds, ticks, or seconds. If the units property is set to samples, however, then you should not attempt to get or set the messages property. If you try to get or set messages in this situation while working in the authoring environment of Oracle Media Objects, then you will get an error message. If you attempt to modify messages under these circumstances while working in the runtime player, the default rate of 22KHz will be used to calculate the value of messages.

The following property setting indicates that the message
myMessage1" will be delivered to the movie object when the playback reaches the position 2.53 seconds, and the message

set the messages of movie 1 to

The startSize property allows you to set the size of an object at the beginning of its trip down a path. <integer, integer> refers to the intended width and height of the object. For example, a value of 100,100 indicates an object that is 100 pixels wide and 100 pixels tall.
The startSize property is useful if you want an object to grow or shrink during its journey. This property is particularly important if you are creating three-dimensional effects, in which you need to use object size to present the illusion of distance and perspective on your two-dimensional screen.
You can set this property to apply to either the entire path or to a particular leg. If you want to use different startSize values for each leg of the path, you must also enable the uselegScaling property.
Note that this property only specifies the starting size of the object. If you want the object to be resized on a path, you must also enable the scaling property.
Notes:
Once you set the scaling property to true, or toggle the scale property on in the Path Info dialog box, any startSize or endSize settings you specify for a leg override any startSize or endSize settings you specified for the whole path.TAIL

The list function serves to purposes. It returns references for all objects that match the specified criteria. The returned list is a set of object references separated by carriage returns. The object references take the following format:
<layer> object id <id> of <layer> id <id> of
stack <stack name>
The list function can be used to do the following:
Obtain a list of all objects of a particular class
Obtain a list of all objects at or within a particular region
Obtain a list of all objects with a given custom property
The at <point> clause limits the returned list to those objects whose rectangle encompasses the card coordinates <point>.
The within <rect> clause limits the returned list to those objects that overlap or lie within the card coordinates of <rect>.
The with [property] <custom property name> clause limits the returned list to those objects that have the named property.
The second purpose of the list function is to return a list of files in the specified directory. The list of files function returns a return-separated list of filenames in the given directory. The <type> is the extension (a 3-character string in Windows, and a 4-character file type on the Macintosh.) If <type> is omitted, the default is to list all types of files in the given directory. If <directory> is omitted, then the default is to list the files in the current directory.

The hili+TXT
The hilite property determines whether a button or shape, or a particular row of a picklist or dataSheet is highlighted (is displayed in inverse video), or shows another visual effect when clicked.
The hilite property has the following effects on the different styles of buttons:
When a shape object's hilite property is true, its background and foreground colors are reversed, regardless of the style attributes. Note that the hilite property turns on only if the autoHilite property is true.
The backColor and foreColor of an opaque or rectangle button are inverted when the hilite property is true.
The color of the background, or the backColor, is inverted when a transparent button's highlight is set to true.
A native, default, or gray button appears depressed when its hilite property is true.
A radio button is displayed as an empty circle when its hilite is false and as a circle with a black dot in the center when its hilite is true.
A check box is displayed as an empty square when its hilite is false and as a square filled with an X when its hilite is true.
When a shape object's hilite property is true, its background and foreground colors are reversed, regardless of the style attributes. Note that the hilite property turns on only if the autoHilite property is true.
Notes:
Do not confuse the autoHilite property with the hilite property. The hilite property determines whether or not a button, shape, pickList, or dataSheet is highlighted, while the autoHilite property determines whether or not the hilite property will turn on when a user clicks the object.
For example, when the user depresses a button with autoHilite turned on, the hilite property is automatically set to true and the button is painted in its highlighted state. As soon as the user releases the mouse, the hilite property is set to false and the button is repainted in its normal state. If that same button's autoHilite is turned off, you can still set the hilite property to true through scripting; however, when you click the button it will not be painted in its highlighted state.TAIL

end mouseDownADDD
RE+TXT
The mouseDown system message is sent to the topmost nonhidden object under the mouse pointer when the user presses the mouse button. If that object has no handler for the message, it travels up the message hierarchy. Generally this message should not be used to begin a button selection routine, because the button would be selected as soon as the user clicked the mouse button. Compare this to mouseUp, which sends the message when the user releases the mouse button.
If the user clicks on a physical cell of a locked dataSheet or pickList, two parameters are sent with the mouseDown message identifying the row and column of the data that was clicked.
For bitmaps, the mouseDown message carries a parameter that describes the color of the pixel that was clicked on. The message is only sent when the user clicks on a painted, nonwhite pixel.
For fields, two parameters are sent with the mouseDown message. The first parameter contains the text of the word that was clicked on. The second parameter contains the position of that word in the field i.e., what number word it is. To get the two parameters, the field's lockText must be set to true.
Notes:
The mouseDown message is not issued if the user places the insertion point or makes a selection in an unlocked field or dataSheet cell. In this case, all movements of the mouse and all keystrokes are processed directly by Oracle Media Objects.TAIL

For movies, the pause command freezes the currently-playing movie, leaving the current frame image on the screen.
For paths, the pause command pauses the animation of the specified path. To resume the animation, use the play command.
For sounds, the pause command pauses the playback of the sound; to resume playback, use the play command.
Notes:
The paused state of a movie or path is distinct from the stopped state; when the movie is paused, a freeze-frame image is displayed and the movie may be frame stepped via the advance and backup commands. When the movie is stopped, the display is blanked and frame stepping is not possible.
The path may also be manipulated with the advance and backup commands while in a paused state. A paused animation can be resumed, while a stopped animation must be restarted from the beginningTAIL

Pick CommandTAIL
pick [multiple] <prompt> from <itemlist>

[at <x,y>]ADDD
PURE+TXT
The pick command creates a dialog box that prompts the user to choose from a list of values.
A carriage return must separate each value in <itemlist>. As fields and other containers that hold multiple lines of data already delimit the values within them with returns, containers are a particularly good choice for <itemlist>.
If the multiple option is not used, the user will be able to make only one selection from the dialog box. If the multiple option is used the user will be able to choose multiple values using the shift key (for contiguous values) or the Ctrl or Command key (for non-contiguous values).
The pick command returns a value into it. If the default button, corresponding to the last specified reply clause, is pressed, the value returned to it is the number of the line chosen in the dialog box. In other words, if the user chooses the word "cool" and "cool" is the fourth value in the dialog box, the number 4 will be put into it. If multiple is used and the user chooses more than one value, the line number of each value will be put (separated by commas) into it. The values can subsequently be accessed as item 1 of it, item 2 of it, etc.
If two replies are specified, then pressing the button corresponding to <reply2> returns the number of the chosen lines into it, while pressing the button corresponding to <reply1> returns 0 into it.
If three replies are specified, then pressing the button corresponding to <reply3> returns the number of the chosen lines into it, pressing the button corresponding to <reply2> returns 0 into it, and pressing the button corresponding to <reply1> returns -1 into it.TAIL

For movies, the playDuration property controls the length of time that the movie plays. <integer> can be any number from 1 to the duration; the time scale of <integer> is set using the units property. The default value of the playDuration for a given movie is the value of the duration property for that movie.
For paths, playDuration controls the length of time that the animation plays. Using the playStart and playDuration properties together, you can play a specific segment path. The type and value of playStart are measured in terms of the current unit. The default value of the playDuration for a given path is the duration of the animation.
For legs of paths, playDuration is equivalent to the sum of the durations of the path's legs.
For sounds, the playDuration property controls the length of time that the sound plays. Using the playStart and playDuration properties together, a specific segment of sound can be played. The type and value of playStart are measured in terms of the current unit. The default value of playDuration is the duration of the sound.TAIL

The playStyle property determines the characteristics of play for a movie, sound, or path. You can set the playStyle property to any combination of styles. Note, though, that setting the playStyle to default implies an absence of any style; consequently, you can't set playStyle to a combination of default and any other style.
For movies, sounds, and paths, the playStyle property can be set to blocking (synchronous) or default (asynchronous). With the playback set for blocking, all other scripts are suspended until the movie, sound, or path completes playback. Default playback allows scripts to keep running while the sound, path, or movie is playing. This allows you to play multiple sounds, for example, simultaneously.
For movie, paths, and sounds, the playStyle can also be set to playForever. Setting the playStyle to playForever causes a movie, path, or sound to play continuously, overriding playNumber.
For movies and paths only, reverseOnReplay indicates the direction of play when playNumber > 1. With reverseOnReplay each replay reverses the direction of the previous play.
For movies only, the playStyle property can also be set to a value of overLaid. When playStyle is set to overLaid, objects appear on top of the movie. Setting playStyle to overLaid results in reduced playback performance, and is recommended only for small movies. When the playStyle is not set to overLaid, the movie appears on top of the objects during playback. If no objects or only transparent objects intersect the movie, the overLaid playStyle is unnecessary.
For paths only, the playStyle property can also be set to useLegTiming and useLegScaling. UseLegTiming indicates the play will use the durations set for the individual legs rather than the path as a whole. UseLegScaling indicates the play will use the scaling set for the individual legs rather than the path as a whole.
Notes:
If you are going to mix two or more sounds, the playStyle property of the sounds must be set to default.TAIL

prepare <movie>ADDD
URE+TXT
The prepare command prepares a movie for playback by opening the file on the disk or requesting a stream from the server, allocating memory, and performing some initialization.
Notes:
Every movie playback must be preceded by a prepare. If you use the play command without first using the prepare command, the movie object performs an implicit prepare to do the necessary work. The following code:
on mouseUp
prepare mov 1
play mov 1
end mouseUp
performs exactly the same functions as:
on mouseUp
play mov 1
end mouseUp
Decoupling the prepare command from the play command allows you to prepare a movie well in advance of actually playing the movie, which is an advantage in a networked environment where requesting a stream from the server may be time
consuming and expensive.
For example, if you create an application in which a user is solving a puzzle, the application can be busy preparing the "You Win!" and "Try Again" movies in the background, perhaps taking up 20 seconds that the user doesn't notice while engrossed in solving the puzzle.TAIL

The lock+TXT
The lockText property determines whether the text of a field or cell of a dataSheet can be edited. The default value is false, which allows editing.
For fields, if the Browse cursor is moved over a text area in which lockText is set to false, the cursor becomes an I-beam. Clicking in such an area establishes a text insertion point. If a field's lockText property is true, the cursor does not change and text cannot be inserted.
For fields, when the lockText property is false, the messages mouseDown, mouseStillDown, and mouseUp are not sent to the object when you click in a field, although they are sent when the user clicks on the field or dataSheet label. When lockText is true, the messages openField and closeField are not sent when the user clicks in the field.
For dataSheets, when the lockText property is false, clicking in a cell allows you to edit the contents of that cell. Pressing Enter on the Macintosh or Windows moves the insertion point one cell to the right. If the insertion point is in the last column (column 256), pressing the right arrow key or Enter places the insertion point in the first column of the next row. Pressing the left arrow key at this point would place the insertion point in the last column of the previous row.
For dataSheets, when the lockText property is true, the dataSheet behaves exactly like a pickList when the user clicks in it: clicked rows are selected and hilited. Note that you can still import data into a dataSheet when this property is true; you simply cannot perform cell-level editing.TAIL

The auto+TXT
The autoHilite property controls whether a button, shape, dataSheet, or pickList row is highlighted when clicked.
The visual effect of clicking on an object whose autoHilite property is true depends on the object style properties. For example, a rectangle-style button whose autoHilite is set to true is highlighted briefly when the user clicks on the button; but when the mouse button is released, the rectangle button returns to its unhighlighted state. However, clicking on a radio button whose autoHilite property is set to true toggles the state of the button: if it is highlighted, it becomes unhighlighted; if unhighlighted, it becomes highlighted.
Clicking in a pickList or dataSheet whose autoHilite property is true highlights the row that was clicked in. To highlight multiple rows, hold down the Shift key (for contiguous rows) or the Ctrl key (for non contiguous rows) while clicking. Note that the lockText of the dataSheet must be true for its rows to be hilighted.
Clicking on an object whose autoHilite property is false provides no visual effect, regardless of the style properties.
Notes:
The mouseUp and mouseDown messages themselves do not affect the highlighting of a button. It is the action of pressing and releasing the button that causes the button to be highlighted when the autoHilite property is set to true.TAIL

Create a button and name it "AutoHilite Off". Go to the button's Info dialog box and verify that autoHilite is not checked. Now create another button and name it "AutoHilite On". Go to this button's Info dialog box and check the autoHilite property.
Clicking on the "AutoHilite Off" button provides no visual response. Clicking on the "AutoHilite On" button provides a visual response similar to "turning on."TAIL

The returnKey system message is sent to the current card when the user presses the Enter key, except while the user is responding to an answer or ask command orediting text in a dataSheet or an unlocked field. If the message is not intercepted, Oracle Media Objects executes the contents of the Message Box. If a field is open for text editing, pressing the Enter key types a return character in the field. In a dataSheet, pressing the Enter key moves the cursor to the next row.
The Return key on the Macintosh keyboard and the Enter key on the PC keyboard are equivalent in Oracle Media Objects. To ensure compatibility, use returnKey on both platforms.
Notes:
If you want to use the Message Box during development on a card that intercepts returnKey messages, add the following line to the top of your returnKey handler:

The rowDelim property determines the character used to separate rows that you are importing into a dataSheet (either from another object or from an external file).
You can specify any single character as a row delimiter for a dataSheet. The default row delimiter is ^r., a carriage return character.
Notes:
Since the default column delimiter is ^t, a <tab> character, you should probably avoid using this as a row delimiter, as well.
When the user is directly editing a cell of a dataSheet, entering the current row
delimiter character will move the cell down one row; entering the column
delimiter will move the cell to the right. The Enter key will always move the insertion point one cell to the right; shift

Visual Effect CommandTAIL
visual effect <effectname>
[in <integer> [ticks | seconds | milliseconds]]
The visual effect command produces a visual effect when moving from the current card or stack to the destination card or stack.
You can specify the speed at which a visual effect occurs by specifying the number of ticks in which the transition should be completed.
Visual effects apply when navigating to another card or stack or when unlocking the screen on the same card. Therefore, the command must be reissued for every navigational move.
The default time unit is ticks.
The following visual effects are available in Oracle Media Objects:
blinds {up | down | left | right}
dissolve
iris {open | close}
pixelDissolve (Macintosh only)
scroll { up | down | left | right}
wipe {up | down | left | right}
zip {up | down | left | right
Each visual effect is described below:
blinds: This simulates the closing of a venetian blind, but wipes the destination card or stack over the current card or stack..
dissolve: The current card or stack slowly dissolves to reveal the destination card or stack.
iris: This is sometimes called zoom. This effect either opens or closes the destination over the current card or stack.
pixelDissolve: On the Macintosh, this effect dissolves from the current to the destination object one pixel at a time. This is a smoother effect than dissolve. On Windows, this is the same as the dissolve effect. Note: The toolbar must be hidden for the pixelDissolve effect to work.
scroll: This effect scrolls the destination over the current object. Scroll differs from the wipe effect in that it actually moves, rather than simply revealing, the destination object.
wipe: This effect wipes the destination over the current object.
zip: This effect move from the current to the destination object one line at a time, skipping every other line. After it reaches the end of the object, it reverses and fills in the skipped lines.TAIL
Create a new stack with two cards. Paint one card red and the other card yellow. Go to the first card and create a button with the following script:

The text+TXT
The textColor property determines the color of the text in some objects. Color can be applied to the following object parts:
Bitmap and field parts: label
DataSheet and pickList parts: colLabel, column (col)
Field chunks: char, item, line, word
When setting the textColor property, you may use a number or a named color constant for the <color> parameter. However, the value of the textColor property is always returned as a number. The textColor property can be changed by using the set command and retrieved by using the get command.
Setting textColor for movies and bitmaps changes the color of the object's label only.
If you do not specify a part, setting textColor on a field, pickList, or dataSheet affects only the data contained in the object.
Notes:
If you wish to change the textColor of a chunk of a field, the field's multifont property must be set to true. You must specify the text whose color you wish to change using a command such as:
set the textColor of word 2 of fld id 2 to green
If the multifont property is not true then the preceding line sets the entire field to green.
For fields, the textColor is synonymous with the foreColor if multiFont is set to false and you are setting the text color of the whole field. For example,
set the foreColor of fld id 2 to green
set the textColor of fld id 2 to green
are equivalent scripting operations; however, there is no concept of foreColor for field labels or chunks, or for whole fields if multiFont is set to true.

The width property determines the width in pixels of an object or window. When the width of an object is changed, its center point remains in the same position.
For dataSheets and pickLists and dataSheets, the width property additionally defines the width of one or more columns of the object. The default width for columns is 50 for pickLists; 100 for dataSheets. Setting the colWidth property also sets the column width property for all columns of the object.
Notes:
The width property can also be changed by manually dragging an object's corner.
If the width of a button or field is changed to a value of less than 1, then the object is hidden, but the visible property is not affected.
A dataSheet or pickList or dataSheet column with a width of 0 is invisible. A dataSheet column with a width of 0 cannot be edited in Browse mode.
The width of a window is read-only from within a script
you cannot set a window's width.TAIL

The unlock screen command removes the screen lock and allows the screen to be updated. (Lock screen suspends updating of the screen display. ) Unlock Screen is functionally identical to setting the lockScreen property to false.

The fullScreen property determines whether Oracle Media Objects is displayed in a window or takes over the entire screen. When fullScreen is set to true there is no title bar, menu bar, or Message Box displayed.
Similarly for stacks, if fullScreen is true, then the current stack will take over the entire screen. If fullScreen is false, then the current stack is displayed in a window. If your stack is designed to run in a window, then set fullScreen to false; if your stack is designed to use the entire screen, then set fullScreen to true.
When you set the fullScreen of a stack to true, the application's fullScreen is automatically set to true. If you then turn fullScreen off globally, the stack's fullScreen remains true.
To return to normal view: press Ctrl-M (Command-M on the Macintosh) to reveal the menu bar, then deselect the "Full Screen" option from the "Navigation" menu.

The global fullScreen property can be set to true or false by selecting or deselecting the "Full Screen" option from the "Navigation" menu.TAIL

Oracle Media Objects generates the doMenu message whenever the user selects an item from a menu. Every doMenu handler must contain a menu command so that the doMenu message continues along the message hierarchy until it reaches Oracle Media Objects and is executed.
The optional <menuItem> parameter identifies the name of the item that was selected, and the optional <menuName> parameter identifies the name of the menu from which the item was selected.
Notes:
It is extremely important that you remember to include pass doMenu in any doMenu handler.

The ampersand (&) operator is a text concatenation symbol; it joins the expressions to its left and right to form a single expression.
When the ampersand is used singly, the expressions are concatenated without any intervening characters. When a double ampersand (&&) is used, the expressions are joined with a single intervening space.
Notes:
For readability purposes, you can optionally delimit a single ampersand or double ampersands with spaces. If you place a space between two ampersands, however, the error message "no operand found" is returned because Oracle Media Objects evaluates each ampersand separately, not as a double ampersand.TAIL
The following examples show the results obtained by different uses of the ampersand operator:

The character chunk yields a substring of an expression by extracting a specified character or range of characters from the expression.
The expression can be any valid text string, including a container reference, a property reference, a function that returns text, a literal string, or a combination of these.
Notes:
You can specify chunks of chunks, as in the following example:
char 1 of word 1 of the short name of button 4
You can also specify ranges of chunks, as in the following example:
char 5 to 20 of field "LAST NAME"
You can use text chunk expressions with tabular chunk expressions by enclosing the tabular chunk expression in parentheses, as in the following example:
put char 1 to 5 of (col 2 of pickList 3)
Attention: You can use a combination of text and tabular chunk expressions to retrieve values, but not to insert values into containers.
Oracle Media Objects evaluates the following expressions as shown below:

If no other fields exist, the insertion point moves to the lowest-numbered background field. If you are currently in a background field, the insertion point moves to the next-highest numbered background field. If no more background fields exist, the insertion point goes to the lowest numbered field.

+T+TXT
play file <sound_filename> [blocking]ADDD
The play+TXT
The play file command is actually a special instance of the play command. In this usage, play plays the specified sound file, directly from the operating system, through the computer's speaker. To play sound continuously while navigating between cards on different backgrounds, you must use the play file command.
On the PC, the <filename> parameter must be the full pathname of a .WAV sound file. For example: C:¥sounds¥wav¥bell.wav>.
Replace the components of the full pathname example with the names of the directories in which your sound file is stored, and the specific name of the .WAV sound file.
On the Macintosh, the <filename> parameter must be the full pathname of an .AIFF sound file. For example:
<MacintoshHD>:sounds:aiff:<Sound file.aiff>.
Replace the components of the full pathname example with the name of your Macintosh hard disk, each folder name, and the specific name of the .aiff sound file.
If the blocking option is not specified, the sound is played asynchronously; the system does not wait for the sound to finish playing before returning control to the script. If blocking is specified, the sound must finish playing before control is returned to the script. The asynchronous playback is the default.
If the sound played successfully, the value true is returned to it. If the sound did not play successfully, for example because the specified <filename> was not in the correct format, false is returned to it.
For sound files to be played on a PC, the machine must be equipped with a sound card.
Notes:
On Windows, if a sound object is playing a sound when the play file command is executed, play file fails. This is due to the fact that on Windows, only one sound can be played at a time.
If you want to play sound continuously while navigating between cards on the same background, use the play file command with no option specified as an alternative to placing a sound object on the background.
If you are playing sound from a file while navigating to a different card, your machine will be trying to access both the audio data and the stack data simultaneously. If your storage device is slow, or the card to which you are navigating contains a lot of data, the sound is likely to stutter or cut out until the new card is read completely into memory. There are a few possible actions you can take to avoid this: never play sounds while moving between cards; where possible, replace navigation in your application with context changes on the same card; import your audio files instead of linking to them (this is only possible if you are using sound objects); modify the bufferSize property of your sound object(s). Note that the last two actions are not options if you are navigating between different backgrounds.TAIL

The popu+TXT
The popup command displays the indicated <card> in a new modal dialog window that overlays the card that was previously displayed. The new window becomes the focus of all user and script activity: when the user navigates to another card, that card is also displayed in the new window. The new window is dismissed by issuing the dismiss command.
The dimensions of the new window are determined by the size of the background of <card>.
The titled <string> clause specifies the text to appear in the window title bar. The title is only visible on moveable dialog windows.
The with <expr> clause specifies the default return value from the dialog card if the card is dismissed by pressing the Escape key or using the system close box, or if no return value is specified by the dismiss command. The return value is stored in the local variable it. <with> can also be used with the dismiss command.
The as clause specifies the window type, which can be moveabledialog (the default) or dialog.
The at clause specifies the top-left coordinates of the popup card's initial position. By default, the popup card is centered on top of the current card window. If you specify coordinates that place the card off of the screen, Oracle Media Objects will override your coordinates and place the card entirely on the screen, because it is not possible to pop up a dialog window at an off-screen position.
The previous window, or parent window, is no longer active until dismiss is issued. All messages, including idle, are sent to the dialog, or child window. A child window can issue popup as well, to a maximum of 10 simultaneously displayed windows.
The handler that issues the popup command pauses in its execution until a dismiss command has been issued.
When a popup card is displayed, the toolbar, script windows, menus, and message box are all unavailable until dismiss has been issued. The cursor displays as a standard dialog pointer.
The same card cannot be displayed in two different windows at once.
Notes:
The popup command is useful for displaying custom dialog boxes.
Usually, <card> will be a different size from other cards in the stack and thus requires its own background.TAIL

When setting a palette entry as in the previous example, you must quote the RGB triplet.
If you put a value into an uninitialized entry of a palette, entries between the last initialized entry and the one you are setting will be set to the corresponding Mac system palette color for that entry. For example, if you have five entries in a palette and then try to set entry fifteen, entries six through fourteen will be set to Mac system palette colors six through fourteen.
Remember to follow rules of Macintosh and Windows palettes while developing your application. For the Macintosh, the first entry must be white and the last entry black. For Windows, the first 8 and the last 8 entries must be blank.

The style property determines the appearance of an object. For some types of objects, the style property can make available or hide object controls, as in the case of field scrollbars or movie controls. Only one style property can be in effect at any one time. Valid <attribute> values are listed below.
The textSize property determines the size of the font in an item of text, or text typed at an insertion point selected with the text tool. Object parts are listed in the following table:
Bitmap and field parts: label
DataSheet and pickList parts: colLabel, column (col)
Field chunks: char, item, line, word
With the exception of movies, if you do not specify a part, textSize will affect the entire object; however, setting textSize on a field, pickList, or dataSheet affects only the data contained in the object.
The font size is measured in pixels from the top of the tallest uppercase letter to the bottom of the longest lowercase descender.
The textSize can be any integer from 1 to 255, but the sizes installed and available in your computer's system produce the best results. The textSize property can be changed by using the set command and retrieved by using the get command.
Notes:
If you wish to change the textSize of a chunk of a field, the field's multiFont property must be set to true. You must also exactly specify the text whose size you wish to change:

then the the first read from file command reads the fist line of the file. The second read from file command reads the second line of the file.
Notes:
To read a line of a text file whose lines are delimited by carriage returns, use the following syntax:
read from file <filename> until return
To read a file until the end of file is reached, you can use the following syntax:
read from file fname until EOF
Note though that the read from file command will by default read until the end of the file.TAIL

This example reads an ASCII file called "Test". To try it, you must have an appropriate file available. Create a field named "File Info". Create a button named "Get Info" with the following script:
on mouseUp
ask file "Text file to open?" for open
with "Test.txt"
put it into fname
open file fname
read from file fname for 100
put it into fld "File Info"
close file fname
end mouseUp
Return to Browse mode and press the button. A dialog box appears, prompting you to specify the name of a file to open. The handler then opens the file, reads 100 characters from the file, and puts the text into the field "File Info".TAIL

PURE+TXT
The messageDropTime allows you to specify the maximum acceptable latency for messages defined in the messages property. Any message which cannot be sent within the latency limit is discarded. This property takes a non
negative integer expressed in the time units specified with the units property.
The messageDropTime property only takes effect if the dropMessages property is true.
Notes:
For sounds, be careful about setting the messageDropTime property to unexpected values. If there is not a sound file associated with your sound object, you can still modify messageDropTime if the units property is set to milliseconds, ticks, or seconds. If the units property is set to samples, however, then you should not attempt to get or set the messageDropTime property. If you try to get or set messageDropTime in this situation while working in the authoring environment of Oracle Media Objects, then you will get an error message. If you attempt to modify messageDropTime under these circumstances while working in the runtime player, the default rate of 22KHz will be used to calculate the value of messageDropTime.TAIL

Acceleration PropertyTAIL
set the acceleration of [leg <number> of]
<path> to <x, y>ADDD
By default, an object maintains a constant speed for the duration of its trip down a path or a leg of a path. Using the acceleration property, you can specify the duration of the path during which an object accelerates and decelerates (or slows down).
The acceleration property requires two values, separated by a comma. The first value specifies the percent of the path duration during which the object accelerates; the second specifies the percent of path duration during which the object decelerates.
You can specify continual acceleration by setting the acceleration property to "100,0" so that the object accelerates for 100% of the path and decelerates for none of it; similarly, you can specify continual deceleration by setting the property to "0,100".
You can set the acceleration property for either an entire path or for each individual leg of a path. If you wish to set the acceleration property for each leg, you must set the playStyle property to useLegTiming to put your leg settings into effect.
Notes:
If you decide to set the acceleration property for each leg of a path, first add all the legs you want to include, and then set the playStyle property to a value of useLegTiming. This simultaneously updates the playDuration property of the path.TAIL
Create a shape and a path. Now create a button, name it

Press the "Mover" button and observe the shape object move along the path you specified.
Now add a leg to your path by entering part mode and clicking the "add leg" tool; then set the playStyle property to useLegTiming by clicking on the "useLegTiming" tool, and type the following into the Message Box:
set the acceleration of leg 1 of path 1 to 100,0
set the acceleration of leg 2 of path 1 to 50,50
