ADOBE DIRECTOR 11.0 399 User Guide window("window_name").appearanceOptions.mask = member("my mask") Drag Mask lets you use a bitmap cast member as a mask to determine which areas of the window a user can click to move the window. Use this to create your own custom non-rectangular title bars or to make the entire window draggable. Border sets the type of window border. It can be #none for a borderless window, or #line for a 1-pixel black border. To create a borderless window, you must set both resizable and titlebarOptions.visible to false, as follows: window("win").resizable = false window("win").titlebarOptions.visible = false window("win").appearanceOptions.border = #none Live Resize (Mac only) determines whether the window contents and the size of the window update while the user drags to resize the window. About dockable MIAWs To make tool MIAWs dockable during authoring, set the dockingEnabled property to TRUE. Dockable tool MIAWs can dock to each other, to other tool windows such as the Property inspector, and to the side channels. They can also be grouped with other tool windows. Dockable document MIAWs can dock to each other and to other document windows such as the Stage, Score, and Cast windows, and to all media editors. Note: Document MIAWs are not dockable. Only tool window MIAWs can be docked. • To dock a MIAW, drag it to a compatible window by the header bar. • To group a MIAW, click the Panel menu on the right side of the header bar and select a Panel group. Window appearance methods Several new Director window appearance methods apply to MIAWs. For more information about these methods, see the Scripting Reference topics in the Director Help Panel. The following are some of these methods with examples: • minimize() lets you minimize your windows when you make custom title bars. window ("miaw").minimize() • maximize() lets you maximize windows when you make custom title bars. window ("miaw").maximize() • restore() lets you restore a window after it has been maximized when you make a custom title bar. window ("miaw").restore() • notifyUser() allows developers to notify the user that the application needs the user's attention. On Windows, the window's task bar entry blinks. On Mac, the projector's icon bounces in the dock. The method arguments are flash count and rate. Setting the flash count to -1 causes the flash or bounce to continue indefinitely until the user responds. window("miaw").notifyUser(-1, 10000) • displaySystemTrayMessage() (Windows only) This method allows users to pop up a balloon tooltip over their system tray icon. This is enabled only if the systemTrayTooltip property is set to true. The method arguments are Message Title, Message Content, and display duration. window("miaw").displaySystemTrayMessage("Message Title", "Message....", 1000);
