Messages

(mouse)

Double-click on the object box brings the window to front, and mouse events on the window are reported out the dump outlet preceded by the symbol mouse when the left mouse button is down, or mouseidle if idlemouse is enabled.

The event is a list containing the horizontal and vertical coordinates of the mouse cursor, followed by several flags representing button state and modifier key state. The flags are: mouse button, command (mac) or control (win) key, shift key, capslock key, option / alt key, control key (mac), left mouse button, right mouse button, and middle mouse button.

front

Bring the window to front

sendtexture

Send a message to the internal texture

Arguments:
  • name [symbol]
  • message [symbol]
  • values [list]
