The following statements create two child objects called myBird1 and myBird2. They are given

different starting speeds: 15 and 25, respectively. When the fly handler is called for each child

object, the speed of the object is displayed in the Message window.

myBird1 = script("Bird").new(15)

myBird2 = script("Bird").new(25)

myBird1.fly()

myBird2.fly()

This message appears in the Message window:

-- "I am flying at 15 mph"

-- "I am flying at 25 mph"

This statement creates a new timeout object called intervalTimer that will send a timeout event to

the

on minuteBeep handler in the child object playerOne every 60 seconds:

timeout("intervalTimer").new(60000, #minuteBeep, playerOne)

This statement creates a sample JavaScript function:

function sampleTimeout () { trace("hello"); }

Elsewhere in your movie you can use this statement to create a timeout object that calls the

JavaScript function:

-- Lingo syntax

gTO = timeout().new("test",50,"sampleTimeout",0)

// JavaScript syntax

_global.gTO = new timeout("test",50,"sampleTimeout",0)
