Description
System message and event handler; contains statements that run in a movie when the user clicks
the inactive window and the window comes to the foreground.
You can use an
on activateWindow handler in a script that you want executed every time the
movie becomes active.
Clicking the main movie (the main Stage) does not generate an
on activateWindow handler.
Example
This handler plays the sound Hurray when the window that the movie is playing in
becomes active:
-- Lingo syntax
on activateWindow
sound(2).play(member("Hurray"))
end
// JavaScript syntax
function activateWindow() {
sound(2).play(member("Hurray"));
}
