9.  If you want the script to autorun upon boot, rename it “autorun.bas” 

 

As well as the BrightScript language itself, BrightSign relies upon a library of “Roku 
Objects” to expose the hardware to the scripting language.   Each Roku Object provides 
access to certain capabilities.  For example, there is a roVideoPlayer object and a 
roTouchScreen object.  To create an object in a script, the  CreateObject() function is 
used.      
 
Refer to the following two manuals when writing scripts: 

•  Roku BrightScript Reference  -- this describes the actual scripting language 

•  Roku Object Reference  -- this describes the Roku Objects, such as 

“roVideoPlayer” 

 

A good way to learn BrightScript is to look at or modify existing scripts.  You can find 
links to example scripts at 

www.rokulabs.com/brightsign

.  The BrightSign Demo 

“autorun.bas” is an example of a more sophisticated script. 
 
You can also test BrightScript commands using the shell.  Here is an example: 
 

Welcome to the Roku Shell version 1.1.28 Release 
Type '?' for help or 'help <command>' for help on <command>. 
 
Roku> script 
BrightScript Micro Debugger. 
Enter any BrightScript statement, debug commands, or HELP. 
 
BrightScript> print "hello" 
hello 
BrightScript> ? "hello" 
hello 
BrightScript> ?5+6 
 11 
BrightScript> ?type(5) 
rotINT32 
BrightScript> if 1=1 then print"1 does equal 1!" else print "strange!" 
1 does equal 1! 
BrightScript> ?right("abcdef",3) 
def    
BrightScript> exit
