Setting the modal
window property to TRUE
lets you make a specific movie in a window the only movie that the user can interact with.
Be aware that this property works even in the authoring environment. If you set the modal
window property to TRUE
, you will not be able to interact with Director's windows either.
You can always close a window that is modal by using Control+Alt+period (Windows) or Command+period (Macintosh).
Example
This statement lets movies respond to events outside of the Tool Panel window:
window("Tool Panel").modal = FALSE
