The first statement in the following example creates a child object from the above script in the

preceding example, and places it in a variable named

myBird. The second statement makes the

bird fly by calling the fly handler in the Bird parent script:

myBird = script("Bird").new()

myBird.fly()

This statement uses a new Bird parent script, which contains the property variable speed:

property speed

on new me, initSpeed

speed = initSpeed

return me

end

on fly me

put "I am flying at " & speed & "mph"

end

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)
