keyUpScript
Syntax
the keyUpScript
Description
System property; specifies the Lingo that is executed when a key is released. The Lingo is written as a string, surrounded by quotation marks, and can be a simple statement or a calling script for a handler.
When a key is released and the keyUpScript
property is defined, Lingo executes the instructions specified for the keyUpScript
property first. Unless the instructions include the pass
command so that the keyUp
message can be passed on to other objects in the movie, no other on keyUp
handlers are executed.
When the instructions you've specified for the keyUpScript
property are no longer appropriate, turn them off by using the statement set the keyUpScript to empty
.
Example
This statement sets keyUpScript
to if the key = RETURN then go the frame + 1
. When this statement is in effect, the movie always goes to the next frame whenever the user presses the Return key.
the keyUpScript = "if the key = RETURN then go to the frame + 1"
Example
This statement sets keyUpScript
to the custom handler myCustomHandler. A Lingo custom handler must be enclosed in quotation marks when used with the keyUpScript
property.
the keyUpScript = "myCustomHandler"
