216 Chapter 11: Keywords
next repeat
Usage
-- Lingo syntax
next repeat
Description
Keyword; sends Lingo to the next step in a repeat loop in a script. This function differs from that
of the
exit repeat keyword.
Example
This repeat loop displays only odd numbers in the Message window:
repeat with i = 1 to 10
if (i mod 2) = 0 then next repeat
put(i)
end repeat
on
Usage
-- Lingo syntax
on handlerName {argument1}, {arg2}, {arg3} ...
statement(s)
end handlerName
Description
Keyword; indicates the beginning of a handler, a collection of Lingo statements that you can
execute by using the handler name. A handler can accept arguments as input values and returns a
value as a function result.
Handlers can be defined in behaviors, movie scripts, and cast member scripts. A handler in a cast
member script can be called only by other handlers in the same script. A handler in a movie script
can be called from anywhere.
You can use the same handler in more than one movie by putting the handler’s script in a
shared cast.
otherwise
Usage
-- Lingo syntax
otherwise statement(s)
Description
Keyword; precedes instructions that Lingo performs when none of the earlier conditions in a
case statement are met.
This keyword can be used to alert users of out-of-bound input or invalid type, and can be very
helpful in debugging during development.
