nothing
Syntax
nothing
Description
Command; does nothing. This command is useful for making the logic of an if...then
statement more obvious. A nested if...then...else
statement that contains no explicit command for the else
clause may require else nothing
, so that Lingo does not interpret the else
clause as part of the preceding if
clause.
Example
The nested if...then...else
statement in this handler uses the nothing
command to satisfy the statement's else
clause:
on mouseDown if the clickOn = 1 then if sprite(1).moveableSprite = TRUE then member("Notice").text = "Drag the ball" else nothing else member("Notice").text = "Click again" end if end
Example
This handler instructs the movie to do nothing so long as the mouse button is being pressed:
on mouseDown repeat while the stillDown nothing end repeat end mouseDown
