The animate.obj command activates a screen object.

Syntax

animate.obj(obj oA);

Parameters

• object: an object, o0 - o255; this object will be activated for use

Remarks

If the object number exceeds the max screen object count, usually 16, AGI will crash with a bad object number error. ( e.g. o17 )

Screen objects must be activated with the animate.obj command before it can be used in any other commands. Attempting to run commands on an unitialized screen object will generate a runtime error.

If you call the animate.obj command on an objedct that is already activated, the command is ignored.

Example

//basic steps needed to create
//and display a screen object
animate.obj(o2);
load.view(4);
set.view(o2,4);
position(o2,80,120);
draw(o2);
