end
// JavaScript syntax
function runPropertyDialog(currentInitializerList) {
statement(s);
}
Description
System message and event handler; contains Lingo that defines specific values for a behavior’s
parameters in the Parameters dialog box. The runPropertyDialog message is sent whenever
the behavior is attached to a sprite, or when the user changes the initial property values of a
sprite’s behavior.
The current settings for a behavior’s initial properties are passed to the handler as a property list. If
the
on runPropertyDialog handler is not defined within the behavior, Director runs a behavior
customization dialog box based on the property list returned by the on
getPropertyDescriptionList
handler.
