I want to thank those who responde to my query about lists to strings. I
hammered at it for a couple of days and this is what I came up with. The
actuall collection of the items is in a movie script. This Script is on the
button that puts the found items into the "Inventory" field
--First I Made My Lists and strings globals
global MIA, CollectList, MyString1, MyString2
on mouseUp me
--Then I put the contents of List into a string, then put it into a field
repeat with x = 1 to CollectList.count
put getAt(CollectList,x) & "," && field "There" into field "There"
end repeat
repeat with x = 1 to MIA.count
put getAt(MIA,x) & "," && field "NotThere" into field "NotThere"
end repeat
MyString1 = field "There"
MyString2 = field "NotThere"
--Then I checked to see if the Collect list is complete, if it is
partially complete or empty to adjust the string in the Iventory field.
if CollectList.count < 6 then
member("Inventory").text = "You have found && MyString1 && "you still
need" && MyString2 &"."
else
if CollectList.count = 6 then
member("Inventory").text = "You have found && MyString1 & "."
end if
end if
if MIA.count = 6 then
put "You have found none of the required items." into field
"Inventory"
end if
end
I want to thank everyone for there time and advice.
Jacqueline
