Here is a Lingo example to verify the existence of the handlers prior to registering the #animationStarted and #animationEnded events to use ' on startOfAnim ' and ' on endOfAnim ' handlers, respectively. When registering for event callbacks or registrations, it's important to verify that the handlers exist first, as these event callbacks fail silently. The Behaviors 'Show Axis' and 'Toggle Redraw' will not work with 3D Text unless the sprite is Direct to stage and a hardware renderer is used. The behavior 'click on model to go to Marker' only works on one model per sprite, unless you assign each model to a different group. They are not intended for use with 'Mouse Within', 'Mouse Enter', or 'Mouse Leave' trigger. Lists and propertyLists can now be evaluated debugged more easily.ģD Action behaviors, whose name includes the word 'Drag', such as 'Drag Model' use a 'Mouse Left', or 'Mouse Right' trigger. Watcher and Debugger variables now have a rollover Tooltip that displays the value of the variable. Note that on the Macintosh, Shockwave does not have the ability to open a message window, instead, a text file is created in the Shockwave 8 folder, where 'put ' statements from a movie are written.

The new lingo property, the debugPlaybackEnabled replaces the Shockwave.ini or projectorName.ini functionality that was introduced in Director 8. To access it, right/control-click on any Shockwave movie and select '3D Renderer'. The default 3D renderer may be changed during Shockwave playback by changing a preference in the properties dialog.
