This handler sorts the list aList and then displays the result in the Message window:
-- Lingo syntax
on sortList aList
alist.sort()
put(aList)
end sortList
// JavaScript syntax
function sortList(aList) {
aList.sort();
put(aList);
}
If the movie issues the statement sortList machinery, where machinery is the list in the
preceding example, the result is [#balls:3, #gears:6, #ramps:8].
The following statements create an empty linear list:
-- Lingo syntax
x = [ ]
x = list()
// JavaScript syntax
var x = list();
The following statements create an empty property list:
-- Lingo syntax
x = [:]
x = propList()
// JavaScript syntax
var x = propList();
