sendEvent

Syntax

member(whichCastmember).sendEvent(#eventName, arg1, arg2,...)

Description

3D command; sends the event eventName, and an arbitrary number of arguments (arg1, arg2,

...

), to all scripts registered to receive the event. Use registerForEvent(), or

setCollisionCallback() to register scripts for events.

Example

The first line in this example creates an instance of a parent script named "tester". The second

line sets the handler of the script instance, jumpPluto, as the handler to be called when the

#jump

event is sent. The third line registers a movie script handler named jumpMars as another handler

to be called when the

#jump event is sent. The fourth line sends the #jump event. The handlers

#jumpMars in a movie script and #jumpPluto are called, along with any other handlers registered for

the

#jump event. Note that a script instance value of 0 indicates that you are registering a handler

of a movie script, as opposed to a handler of a behavior instance or of a child of a parent script.

t = new (script "tester")

member("scene").registerForEvent(#jump, #jumpPluto, t)

member("scene").registerForEvent(#jump, #jumpMars, 0)

member("scene").sendEvent(#jump)
