getScale(id).select(option) or getScale(id).select(index) or getScale(id).select(option, “log”) Selects the specified option on the scale.

dropdown.wait
getDropDown(id).wait() or getDropDown(id).wait(“first”) or getDropDown(id).wait(test) Waits until an option is selected from the drop-down list before proceeding. If you call wait(“first”), then if an option has already been selected by the time this command is evaluated, the next commands are evaluated and executed right away. If no option has been selected so far, the next …
dropdown.select
getDropDown(id).select( “option” ) Selects an option in the drop-down list. Nothing happens if the option passed as an argument does not exist. Example: [js highlight=”3″ try=”true”]newDropDown(“warmth”, “”) .settings.add(“hot”, “lukewarm”, “cold”) .select( “lukewarm” ) , newText(“Spring in Colorado is “) .settings.after( getDropDown(“warmth”) ) .print()[/js] Creates a drop-down list containing the options hot, lukewarm and cold, selects …
dropdown.shuffle
getDropDown(id).shuffle() or getDropDown(id).shuffle( “keep selected” ) Shuffles the options that have been added to the DropDown so far.

timer.stop
getTimer(id).stop() (since version 1.1) Stops the timer early. Nothing happens if the timer has already elapsed. When timers are stopped early, the script proceeds in the same way as if they had elapsed on their own: any command associated to the timer is executed and any command on the timer is resolved. [js highlight=”8″ try=”true”] …
standard.refresh
getElement(id).refresh() (since PennController 1.1) Calls the command again on the element, while leaving it where it was printed last. This command is primarily useful if some aesthetic command does not take effect unless print is called afterward, but you do not want to call print because calling it when you need the aesthetic command to …
video.wait
getVideo(id).wait() or getVideo(id).wait(“first”) or getVideo(id).wait(test) Waits until the video resource is done playing before evaluating and executing the next commands. If you call wait(“first”), then if the video has already been played at least once by the time this command is evaluated, the next commands are evaluated and executed right away. If it was never …
video.stop
getVideo(id).stop() (since beta 0.3) Stops the playback of the video and goes back to the start of it, making it impossible to resume from the current position later. Example: [js highlight=”10″ try=”true”]newVideo(“skate”, “skate.mp4”) .print() .play() , newTimer(“preview”, 2500) .start() .wait() , getVideo(“skate”) .stop()[/js] Prints and starts playing the file sentence.mp4 and stops it after 2500ms. …
