Examples
This handler returns a random roll for two dice:
on diceRoll
return random(6) + random(6)
end
In the following example, the two statements
diceRoll
roll = the result
are equivalent to this statement:
set roll = diceRoll()
Note that set roll = diceRoll would not call the handler because there are no parentheses
following
diceRoll; diceRoll here is considered a variable reference.

RETURN (constant)
Syntax
RETURN
Description
Constant; represents a carriage return.
Examples
This statement causes a paused movie to continue when the user presses the carriage return:
if (the key = RETURN) then go to the frame + 1
This statement uses the RETURN character constant to insert a carriage return between two lines in
an alert message:
alert "Last line in the file." & RETURN & "Click OK to exit."
In Windows, it is standard practice to place an additional line-feed character at the end of
each line. This statement creates a two-character string named CRLF that provides the
additional line feed:
CRLF = RETURN & numToChar(10)
