case - the case statement provides a clean method of implementing a multi-tiered if statement, and was introduced in Director 5. See

end
case

, otherwise. Example:

	case expression of
		1: -- do option 1
		2: -- do option 2
		otherwise: -- catch-all option
	end case

cpuHogTicks - undocumented command which changes the time-slice processing, giving more CPU time to Director if set above its default value (20?) possibly a Mac-only property.

cursor - the cursor command sets the cursor within your Director project. Common values are 0 (default), -1 (arrow), 200 (hidden) and 4 (hourglass or watch). See

cursor -1 -- set the arrow cursor

cursor 4 -- set the watch/hourglass cursor

cursor 0 -- reset the cursor

cursor 200 -- hide the cursor
