Start.cycling

The start.cycling command begins cycling a screen object based on its current cycle mode.

Syntax

start.cycling(obj oA);

Remarks

If cycling of screen object oA has been previously stopped, the start.cycling command resumes cycling of the object based on the object's current cycle mode. The cycle mode is not changed.

Use the stop.cycling command to disable an object's cycling property.

Possible Errors

AGI does not check that object number oA is a valid screen object. If it is not, this command will overwrite other data on the memory heap, which may cause unexpected results, including possibly crashing AGI.

Example

Code:

<syntaxhighlight lang="agi">

1. define tv o7

... [ initialize object stop.cycling(tv); [ tv is paused ... start.cycling(tv); [ resume playback </syntaxhighlight>
