rootMenu() 513
Example
This statement changes the content of the field cast member Message to “This is the place.” when
the pointer is over sprite 6:
-- Lingo syntax
if (_movie.rollOver(6)) then
member("Message").text = "This is the place."
end if
// JavaScript syntax
if (_movie.rollOver(6)) {
member("Message").text = "This is the place.";
}
The following handler sends the playhead to different frames when the pointer is over certain
sprites on the Stage. It first assigns the
rollOver
value to a variable. This lets the handler use the
rollOver
value that was in effect when the rollover started, regardless of whether the user
continues to move the mouse.
-- Lingo syntax
on exitFrame
currentSprite = _movie.rollOver()
case currentSprite of
1: _movie.go("Left")
2: _movie.go("Middle")
3: _movie.go("Right")
end case
end exitFrame
// JavaScript syntax
function exitFrame() {
var currentSprite = _movie.rollOver();
switch (currentSprite) {
case 1: _movie.go("Left");
break;
case 2: _movie.go("Middle");
break;
case 3: _movie.go("Right");
break;
}
}
