on activateWindow

Syntax

    on activateWindow
    		statement(s)
    end

Description

System message and event handler; contains statements that run in a movie when the user clicks the inactive window and the window comes to the foreground.

You can use an`on activateWindow` handler in a script that you want executed every time the movie becomes active.

Clicking the main movie (the main Stage) does not generate an `on activateWindow` handler.

Example

This handler plays the sound Hurray when the window that the movie is playing in becomes active:

    on activateWindow
    	puppetSound 2, "Hurray"
    end
