149 Chapter 10: Events and Messages This section provides an alphabetical list of all the events and messages available in Director®. on activateApplication Usage -- Lingo syntax on activateApplication statement(s) end // JavaScript syntax function activateApplication() { statement(s); } Description Built-in handler; runs when the projector is brought to the foreground. This handler is useful when a projector runs in a window and the user can send it to the background to work with other applications. When the projector is brought back to the foreground, this handler runs. Any MIAWs running in the projector can also make use of this handler. During authoring, this handler is called only if Animate in Background is turned on in General Preferences. On Windows®, this handler is not called if the projector is merely minimized and no other application is brought to the foreground. Example This handler plays a sound each time the user brings the projector back to the foreground: -- Lingo syntax on activateApplication sound(1).queue(member("openSound")) sound(1).play() end // JavaScript syntax function activateApplication() { sound(1).queue(member("openSound")); sound(1).play(); } See also on deactivateApplication, activeCastLib, on deactivateWindow
