Description
Built-in handler; runs when the projector is brought to the foreground. This handler is useful
when a projector runs in a window and the user can send it to the background to work with other
applications. When the projector is brought back to the foreground, this handler runs. Any
MIAWs running in the projector can also make use of this handler.
During authoring, this handler is called only if Animate in Background is turned on in
General Preferences.
On Windows, this handler is not called if the projector is merely minimized and no other
application is brought to the foreground.
