I’m happy to be wrong on this, but it’s my understanding that startUp is only
seen by a standalone… and that "Handle the startup message
<applewebdata://77C7FDE9-8161-4549-92CB-9651D225E54F/dictionary/keyword/1549.xml>
if you want to do initialization or other tasks when the application
<applewebdata://77C7FDE9-8161-4549-92CB-9651D225E54F/glossary/a/23.xml>” in the
dictionary is literal.
I’m currently just building for iOS… so, I place the startUp handler in the
stack script and include the ‘mobile’ only things like:
iphoneSetAllowedOrientations "landscape left,landscape right"
Or, when I load sounds (thank you Scott Rossi) as the app opens:
put specialFolderPath("engine") &"/"& "tm_btn_eletro_23.wav" into
gNumberButtonSound
mobileSetSoundChannelVolume "Ch1","0" -- sets the volume to mute
mobilePlaySoundOnChannel gNumberButtonSound, "Ch1","now"
My projects are only one stack… so, if I put dispatch in the openStack handler,
it sees the startUp handler and throws an error:
on openStack
dispatch "startUp"
end openStack
be well,
randy
