on activateWindow

Syntax

on activateWindow

statement(s)

end

Description

System message and event handler; contains statements that run in a movie when the user clicks

the inactive window and the window comes to the foreground.

You can use an

on activateWindow handler in a script that you want executed every time the

movie becomes active.

Clicking the main movie (the main Stage) does not generate an

on activateWindow handler.

Example

This handler plays the sound Hurray when the window that the movie is playing in becomes active:

on activateWindow

puppetSound 2, "Hurray"

end

active3dRenderer

Syntax

the active3dRenderer

Description

3D Lingo movie property; indicates the renderer currently in use by the movie for drawing 3D

sprites. This property is equivalent to the

getRendererServices().renderer property.

The possible values of the

active3DRenderer property are #openGL, #directX7_0,

#directX5_2, and #software. The values #openGL, #directX7_0, and #directX5_2, which are

video card drivers, will lead to much faster performance than #software, a software renderer used

when none of the first three options are available.

The

active3dRenderer property can be tested, but not set. Use

getRendererServices().renderer to set this property.

Examples

These examples show the two ways to determine which renderer is currently in use.

put the active3dRenderer

-- #openGL

put getRendererServices().renderer

-- #openGL
