newBackground

newBackground

Handler:

on newBackground
   statements
end newBackground

HyperCard sends the newBackground message to the current card (in this case, the first card of the new background) just after HyperCard creates the background.

Although the new background will not have a script with which to respond to the message, any other object along the message-passing path can handle it.

Placeholders
