The problem I have is not with putting "the value of the button"
(sorry, should've just said the name of the button) into "it" but
rather with halting operating of a script until a button in this
group is clicked. The script to display some message and get a
returned value would look like this:
on doStuff
displayMessage "theMessage","Cancel","OK"
put it into theChoice
end doStuff
However, "it" is empty after execution of displayMessage, because all
that displayMessage does is make a group and put it into the middle
of the stack for the user to click on it - I need to figure out some
way to pause execution of the script so that "it" actually contains
the name of the button clicked.
...hope I'm explaining this well enough, I've barely been able to get
my ideas over on e-mail right now, I'm having eternal brain farts
right now :-P
