# webPlugInStart()

Tells the plug-in to start normal operation.

## Declaration

```swift
func webPlugInStart()
```

## Discussion

Discussion The plug-in usually begins its primary task (such as drawing, playing sounds, or animating) in this method. This method may be called more than once, provided that the application has already called webPlugInInitialize() and that each call to this method is followed later by a call to webPlugInStop().
