202 Chapter 10: Events and Messages

An on zoomWindow event handler is a good place to put Lingo that rearranges sprites when

window dimensions change.

Example

This handler moves sprite 3 to the coordinates stored in the variable centerPlace when the

window that the movie is playing in is resized:

-- Lingo syntax

on zoomWindow

centerPlace = point(10, 10)

sprite(3).loc = centerPlace

end

// JavaScript syntax

function zoomWindow() {

var centerPlace = point(10, 10);

sprite(3).loc = centerPlace;

}
