A tool miaw to list all handlernames of all scriptmembers in your director movie in a hierarchical menu.
Unlike Directors own handler menu, this tool lists not only Moviescript handlers, but rather all three types of scripts:
- Movie
- Score
- Parent
The different types are subdivided into own submenus.
Unlike Directors handlername menu the handlers are not listed all in one single menu, but they are categorized by the scriptmembers, they appear in. There's also a submenu which lists the scripts used by the sprites in the current frame. So you can quite easily send an event to a sprite on stage. Another important difference is, that handlers get executed by default and only the use of a modifier key either shows the occurrence in the script editor (Option/Alt key) or copies the syntax into the clipboard (Shift key). So this tool provides an easy way of using your own scripts for authoring without needing to remember the names and type the same handlernames over and over again into the message window. It provides also a way to sendSprite() events, by simply selecting the event from the menu and entering the parameters in an upcoming dialog.
Refer to the Readme file for further description. (Readme file online) Please note, that this version is not the most recent one. I transferred further development of the tool to an open source trac project, where you can always find the most recent version in trunk. see this blog post for further infos. This new version now uses the OSControl xtra to draw the menu, as the buddyMenu xtra has an annoying bug. Download (Mac/Windows): handlerMenu_v1.zip (318 KB) Comments:

I noticed that on windows you can't use the option/alt key in an authoring tool. use the ctrl key instead to open the script editor at the selected handler.
