Wired Movies and Sprites

Important Things to Note in the Sample Code

You should note the following in MakeActionSpriteMovie.c sample code:

There are event types other than mouse-related events (for example, Idle and frameLoaded ).
Idle events are independent of the movie's rate, and can be gated, so they are sent at most every n ticks. (The second penguin moves when the movie's rate is 0, and moves only once per second because of the value of the sprite tracks idleEventFrequency property.)
Multiple actions may be executed in response to a single event (for example, rolling over the first penguin shows and hides four different buttons).
Actions may target any sprite or track in the movie (for example, clicking on one penguin changes the graphics mode of the other).
Conditional and looping control structures are supported. (The second penguin uses the "case statement" action.)
Sprite track variables that have not been set have a default value of 0. (The second penguin's conditional code relies on this.)
