Creating property lists
The only way to create a property list is to use the list operator ([ ]
). You cannot use the list()
function to create a property list.
To create a property list:
Place the list elements within the list operator, and use commas to separate the elements. Precede each property with the pound (#) sign, and separate each property from its value with a colon.
For example, the following statements create two different property lists. Each list specifies the Stage coordinates of a sprite.
sprite1Location = [#left:100, #top:150, #right:300, #bottom:350] sprite2Location = [#left:400, #top:550, #right:500, #bottom:750]
To create an empty property list:
Set the list to [:]
.
