exitLock

Usage

-- Lingo syntax
_movie.exitLock

// JavaScript syntax
_movie.exitLock;

Description

Movie property; determines whether a user can quit to the Windows desktop or Macintosh Finder from projectors (FALSE, default) or not (TRUE). Read/write.

The user can quit to the desktop by pressing Control+period (Windows) or Command+period (Macintosh), Control+Q (Windows) or Command+Q (Macintosh), or Control+W (Windows) or Command+W (Macintosh); the Escape key is also supported in Windows.

Example

This statement sets the exitLock property to TRUE:

-- Lingo syntax
_movie.exitLock = TRUE

// JavaScript syntax
_movie.exitLock = true;

Assuming that exitLock is set to TRUE, nothing occurs automatically when the Control+period/Q/W, Esc, or Command+period/Q/W keys are used. This handler checks keyboard input for keys to exit and takes the user to a custom quit sequence:

-- Lingo syntax
on checkExit
   if ((_key.commandDown) and (_key.key = "." or _key.key = "q") and \
(_movie.exitLock = TRUE)) then _movie.go("quit sequence")
end checkExit

// JavaScript syntax
function checkExit() {
   if ((_key.commandDown) && (_key.key == "." | _key.key == "q") && 
(_movie.exitLock == true)) {
      _movie.go("quit sequence");
   }
}
