Explanation

Example

CBK_AudioEOF

If you set label of script object either on current project page or Master Top Layer to match this CBK constant, that script will be launched when audio file (ogg) playback ends. MMB will first look for this script object on current page and then on Master Top Layer.

View Example

CBK_Menu

If you modify label of object group to start with CBK_Menu, that group will be hidden every time user clicks outside that object group.

This helps you in making pop-up menus, disappearing when user clicks away. On user's click on the screen, all CBK_Menu labeled objects will be hidden except the menu under mouse cursor.

For example check masterpages.mbd that comes in MMB package.

View Example

CBK_EXIT

Use this to catch the Close button on the title bar or the Escape key.

Note: The object or group MUST be in the Master Top layer.

If you set label of object either on Master Top Layer to match this CBK constant, pressing of Escape key on keyboard will not (by default) close your application.

Instead, script under CBK_Exit labeled object will be run, enabling you to create "Do you want to exit ?" message boxes or whatever you want to do when user wants to exit application.

View Example

CBK_CMDLINE

If you set label of Script object either on Master Page/Master Top Layer to match this CBK constant, each time you start your MMB application with some command line parameters, this Script object will be invoked and you will be able to process the passed command line parameters via this script object (e.g. start playback of Audio file passed by command line parameter or process each of the passed parameters individually).
