persistent
Syntax
timeoutObject
.persistent
Description
Object property; determines whether the given timeoutObject
is removed from the timeoutList
when the current movie stops playing. If TRUE
, timeoutObject
remains active. If FALSE
, the timeout object is deleted when the movie stops playing. The default value is FALSE
.
Setting this property to TRUE
allows a timeout object to continue generating timeout events in other movies. This is useful when one movie branches to another with the go to movie
command.
Example
This prepareMovie
handler creates a timeout object that will remain active after the declaring movie stops playing:
on prepareMovie -- Make a timeout object that sends an event every 60 minutes. timeout("reminder").new(1000 * 60 * 60, #handleReminder) timeout("reminder").persistent = TRUE end
