Re: property's in property lists

[Kerry Thompson]

property pMyProperty, pMyList

on new me
    pMyProperty = "thisOne"
    pMyList = [#notTheOne: [1,1,1], #thisOne: [2,2,2], #notThisOne:
[3,3,3]]
end

on myHandler me
     put pMyList.pMyProperty --- this is my problem, it searches for a
string called "pMyProperty" instead of for my property "thisOne"
end

Try this:
put pMyList.getProp(pMyProperty)

That works if pMyProperty is a string or a symbol.

Cordially,
