I'm getting different behavior between Mac & Windows (big surprise) in one
of my scripts, and am wondering if there is anything I can do about it.
Basically I have a handler in a field script that allows the user to move
the field by clicking & holding the mouse down on the field. While they
are doing this, they can alter the appearance of the markers for a graphic
by hitting the shift key (they can toggle through a set of four different
types of markers). This works fine on the Mac, but in Windows it only
responds the first time the shift key is pressed - so you can only change
the marker type once. Is this an unavoidable problem with how Windows
deals with these events? Here's the script:
on mouseDown
wait 10 ticks #checking to make sure it wasn't just a click
if the mouse is down then
put "Root " & (word 2 of the short name of me) into tRtGraphicN
set the markerDrawn of graphic tRtGraphicN to true #show markers
put 1 into tShiftFlag
repeat until the mouse is up
set the loc of me to the mouseLoc
if the shiftkey is down then
if tShiftFlag = 1 then
get toggleArrows(tRtGraphicN)
put 0 into tShiftFlag
end if
else put 1 into tShiftFlag
end repeat
set the markerDrawn of graphic tRtGraphicN to false
end if
end mouseDown
Thanks in advance for any advice...
