Documentation for Object Messages

Is there a place in the Rev documentation where the various messages that objects can be expected to respond to are summarized? For example we know that buttons respond to mouseUp and mouseDown. In particular where can I find all the events that fields respond to? I know mouseEnter and mouseLeave but is there something for fieldChanged for example?
Thanks,
Larry

Larry,
open the dictionary than choose under object e.g. fields, now do a sort by Type. Scroll to messages. This gives you the messages a field can receive. If Type is not among the options go to preferences->dictionary and select type among other things you want to display.

Bernd

Thanks Bernd,

My problem was not knowing how to use the dictionary properly. The amount of documentation for Revolution is way beyond anything I have ever experienced and the people in this forum are also very helpful. I'm going to have fun with this.
