Syntax

	statement(s)
end

Description

System message and event handler; contains Lingo that runs when the playback head leaves a sprite and goes to a frame in which the sprite doesn't exist. It is generated after exitFrame.

Place on endSprite handlers in a behavior script.

Director destroys instances of any behavior scripts attached to the sprite immediately after the endSprite event occurs.

The event handler is passed the behavior or frame script reference me if used in a behavior. This endSprite message is sent after the exitFrame message if the playback head plays to the end of the frame.

The go, play, and updateStage commands are disabled in an on endSprite handler.

Example

This handler runs when the playback head exits a sprite:

on endSprite me
	-- clean up
	gNumberOfSharks = gNumberOfSharks - 1
	puppetSound(5,0)
end
