zoomWindow

Syntax

    on zoomWindow
    	statement(s)
    end

Description

System message and event handler; contains statements that execute whenever a movie running as a movie in a window (MIAW) is resized. This happens when the user clicks the Minimize or Maximize button (Windows) or the Zoom button (Macintosh). The operating system determines the dimensions after resizing the window.

An `on zoomWindow` event handler is a good place to put Lingo that rearranges sprites when window dimensions change.

Example

This handler moves sprite 3 to the coordinates stored in the variable `centerPlace` when the window that the movie is playing in is resized:

    on zoomWindow
    	centerPlace = point(10, 10)
    	sprite(3).loc = centerPlace
    end
