mouseUpScript
Syntax
the mouseUpScript
Description
System property; determines the Lingo that is executed when the mouse button is released. The Lingo is written as a string, surrounded by quotation marks, and can be a simple statement or a calling script for a handler.
When the mouse button is released and the mouseUpScript
property is defined, Lingo executes the instructions specified for the mouseUpScript
property first. Unless the instructions include the pass
command so that the mouseUp
message can be passed on to other objects in the movie, no other on mouseUp
handlers are executed.
When the instructions you've specified for the mouseUpScript
property are no longer appropriate, turn them off by using the statement set the mouseUpScript to empty
.
Setting the mouseUpScript
property accomplishes the same thing as using the when mouseUp then
command that appeared in earlier versions of Director.
This property can be tested and set. The default value is EMPTY
.
Example
When this statement is in effect and the movie is paused, the movie always continues whenever the user releases the mouse button:
the mouseUpScript = "go to the frame +1"
Example
With this statement, when the user releases the mouse button after clicking anywhere on the Stage, the movie beeps:
the mouseUpScript = "if the clickOn = 0 then beep"
Example
This statement sets mouseUpScript
to
the custom handler myCustomHandler
. A Lingo custom handler must be enclosed in quotation marks when used with the mouseUpScript
property.
the mouseUpScript = "myCustomHandler"
