Hi all.
I just ran into a strange thing. i�m using sendsprite to dynamicaly create a
searchstring that has one element that may vary. The problem is this. i use
this behavior on the buttons activating the handler called
<LINGO>
property mySprite, myName
on beginSprite me
mySprite = me.spriteNum
myName = sprite(mySprite).member.name
end
on mouseUp me
sendSprite(21,#displayStatement,myName)
end
</LINGO>
This far myName is a string AFAIK
it gives it�s name as a string if you put it in the message window
on the other end it gets recieved by this handler
<LINGO>
on displayStatement memName
put memName
lastLine = member("qHolder").lineCount
qKey = string("<"&qCount&"_"&memName&">")
put qKey && memName
</LINGO>
the first put gives -- <offspring "questions" 4 1acf034>
the second one gives -- "<1_<offspring "questions" 5 4e24b8>> <offspring
"questions" 4 4e24b8>"
Am i missing something essential here?
because the string should read "<1_knapp_1>"
TIA
/Micke
