Adobe Director Basics

ADOBE DIRECTOR BASICS
3D basics
In previous versions of Director, the trigger instruction had to be included as a handler, such as on mouseDown, inside
the behavior. The trigger behavior type makes it easier to reuse action behaviors in different ways with different
triggers. These behaviors can be used with any 3D cast member.
Using the 3D behavior library
All 3D behaviors are listed in the Behavior Library. The Behavior Library is divided into two sub libraries: actions and
triggers.
1 Click the Library Palette button on the Director toolbar.
2 Click the Library List button and select 3D.
3 Select Triggers from the 3D submenu.
The trigger behaviors appear.
3D trigger behaviors
The following table describes the available triggers:
Name Description
Mouse Left Triggers action when the user presses, holds down, or releases the left
mouse button (Windows®) or the mouse button (Mac®).
Mouse Right Triggers action when user presses, holds down, or releases the right
mouse button. To use on the Mac, you must set the
emulateMultibuttonMouse property to true; then Control-click is
interpreted as a right-click. To use this with Shockwave® Player, you
must disable the context menu and pass right-clicks through to the
player.
Mouse Within Triggers an action when the pointer is inside a sprite.
Mouse Enter Triggers an action when the pointer enters a sprite.
Mouse Leave Triggers an action when the pointer leaves a sprite.
Keyboard Input Lets the author specify a given key as a trigger.
