on timeOut

Syntax

on timeOut
	statement(s)
end

Description

System message and event handler; contains statements that run when the keyboard or mouse is not used for the time period specified in timeOutLength. Always place an on timeOut handler in a movie script.

To have a timeout produce the same response throughout a movie, use the timeoutScript to centrally control timeout behavior.

Example

This handler plays the movie Attract Loop after users do nothing for the time set in the timeoutLength property. It can be used to respond when users leave the computer.

on timeOut
	play movie "Attract Loop"
end timeOut
