Include only those behaviors in on EvalScript that you want users to control; for security
reasons, don’t give complete access to behaviors.
Note: If you place a return at the end of your EvalScript handler, the value returned can be used by JavaScript in
the browser.
Examples
This shows how to make the playhead jump to a specific frame depending on what frame is
passed in as the parameter:
on EvalScript aParam
go frame aParam
end
This handler runs the statement go frame aParam if it receives an EvalScript message that
includes dog, cat, or tree as an argument:
on EvalScript aParam
case aParam of
"dog", "cat", "tree": go frame aParam
end case
end
A possible calling statement for this in JavaScript would be EvalScript ("dog").
This handler takes an argument that can be a number or symbol:
on EvalScript aParam
if word 1 of aParam = "myHandler" then
do aParam
end if
end
The following handler normally requires a string as its argument. The argument is received as a
symbol and then converted to a string within the handler by the
string function:
on myHandler aParam
go to frame string(aParam)
end
