getProperty

Description

Gets a property from an element that is currently loaded (in the current scene or global node).

Since direct return values are only supported inside Director movies, this function is only available as a Director Lingo/Javascript call and as an evaluated argument for a setProperty action.

Syntax

Action:

Not available

API call:

getProperty("panoelement1","pan","persistent")

Arguments

  • target
    ID of a currently loaded element.
    When used in an action, you can use "_this" to point to the 'owner' object of the behavior.
  • property
    Property/attribute of the referenced element.
  • flags
    Options for the getProperty call. Options include:
    • persistent
      Get the original, persistent value from the XML document, not from the active instance.

History

  • 23-Mar-07: Added flags
  • 18-Oct-06: Added information about '_this'
  • 13-Jan-06: Initial version

getProperty bug?

Submitted by BrigitteBD on January 29, 2006 - 15:22.

Hi Aldo,
The getProperty function seems not to work.
I'll get a warning message: "Illegal command received ..."

see: http://panoquest.net/api_call_test.html

Thanks for looking into it.
Brigitte

I'll see if I can fix that in the next release... (never thought about return values)

other global target elements ?

Submitted by ebeuque on December 13, 2006 - 16:53.

Apart from _this, what are the other globally available target that can be used ?
E.g, there is at least "_camera" that can be mentionned here. Are there any other ? Like _mouse to get the pan or tilt under the mouse cursor from instance ?
