Scripting Sample
(Flash MX)

Turbine includes an on-the-fly Action Script compiler allowing for powerful scripting capabilities. Scripting can be used to control other MML tags. For example, the text on the Flash text field below is set with Action Script:

The Flash movie above was created from the following MML:

<TextField instance="field" size="300,100" flags="multiline,border,wrap">The next values are added by the script:
</TextField>

Controlling MML Elements

Turbine scripting supports all the object-oriented capabilities available in Flash MX. The following example uses an onEnterFrame handler to rotate an image created by an <Image> tag:

The Flash movie above was created from the following MML Tags:

<Script>
  onEnterFrame = function(){
    image._rotation+=2;
  }
</Script>

Turbine Window Debugging

Turbine scripting can work with the Turbine window, to provide a handy trace-like functionality that works on all situations:

The Flash movie above was created from the following MML:

<Script>
turbineDebug("This text was logged from a script block.");

var now = new Date();
turbineDebug("Current time is " + now.toString());

turbineDebug("Flash Player version is: " + getVersion());

</Script>
