Creating effects with JavaScript
About working with JavaScript
If you know how to write JavaScript, you can add effects to your world using the
Atmosphere JavaScript API (Application Program Interface). These effects can be simple
or complex—ranging from adding a sound effect to creating an interactive animation.
The possibilities are limited only by your ability to implement your ideas in JavaScript.

Attaching a script to a world
You can attach a script to an object, a group of objects, or a whole world. If you attach a
script to an object or group, you can use the keyword this to refer to the current object.
Alternately, you can attach a script to the world and refer to objects by name. The world
script is always run before any of the other scripts; therefore, you can use the world script
to do initializations and provide methods that are required by other scripts.
