The on getPropertyDescriptionList message is sent when any action that causes the
Behavior Inspector to open occurs: either when the user drags a behavior to the Score or the user
double-clicks a behavior in the Behavior Inspector.
The
#default, #format, and #comment settings are mandatory for each parameter. The
following are possible values for these settings:
Example
The following handler defines a behavior’s parameters that appear in the Parameters dialog box.
Each statement that begins with
addProp adds a parameter to the list named description. Each
element added to the list defines a property and the property’s #default, #format, and
#comment values:
on getPropertyDescriptionList
description = [:]
addProp description,#dynamic, [#default:1, #format:#boolean,
#comment:"Dynamic"]
addProp description,#fieldNum, [#default:1, #format:#integer, \
#comment:"Scroll which sprite:"]
addProp description, #extentSprite,[#default:1,#format:#integer, \
#comment: "Extend Sprite:"]
addProp description,#proportional,[#default:1,#format:#boolean, \
#comment: "Proportional:"]
