Parameters
bPromptIfNeeded
A Boolean value that is
true
(default) if you want the user to be prompted to save any modified
documents. Set this parameter to

the latter case, any modifications in open documents will be discarded and the application will exit immediately.
Although it is useful for batch processing, use this method with caution. This parameter is optional.
Returns
Nothing.

Example
The following example illustrates quitting with and without asking to save modified documents:
// Quit with prompt to save any modified documents.
fl.quit();

// Quit without saving any files.
fl.quit(false);
fl.reloadEffects()
Availability

Usage
fl.reloadEffects()
Parameters
None.
Returns
Nothing.
Description
Method; reloads all effects descriptors defined in the user’s Configuration Effects folder. This permits you to rapidly
change the scripts during development, and it provides a mechanism to improve the effects without relaunching the
application. This method works best if used in a command placed in the Commands folder.
Example
The following example is a one-line script that you can place in the Commands folder. When you need to reload effects,
go to the Commands menu and execute the script.
fl.reloadEffects();
