The dictionary says flushEvents("system") ignores operating system events. Does anyone know which events those might be?


If I'm remembering right, flushEvents("system") called flushEvents() on Mac OS, which in turn removed low-level events from the OS event queue (as opposed to the engine's queue) - mouse, keyboard, disk-insert. I'm not sure what, if anything, it did on other platforms.

It was one of those things that was inherited from SuperCard.

I'm not entirely sure it does anything now - the flushEvents call has been deprecated in OS X for a while.
