This handler has three parts. The first line tells Director to trigger this handler when the user clicks on the button
sprite to which the script is attached. Specifically, the
mouseUp
event refers to the action of releasing the mouse
button after it has been pressed. This way the script does not run until the user releases the mouse button when
clicking.
The second line of the handler contains the same code as the previous script that you wrote. It sends the playhead
to the frame that contains the marker named Animation. The difference between these two scripts is that this
one performs its action based on a mouse click, not on an
exitFrame
event.
Again, the word
end
on the last line tells Director that the script is finished.
Test your script
You are now ready to try out your new button script.
1
If necessary, bring the Stage window to the foreground by clicking its title bar.
2
Rewind and play your movie.
The movie plays, and the start scene remains on the screen. The playhead does not move to another scene until
you click your newly scripted button.
3
Click the Go to Animation button on the Stage.
The button provides feedback by changing color when it is clicked. The playhead moves to the first frame of the
animation scene, and the tire bounces.
