In an effort not to overlook anything... to share a local variable among several
handlers, you must declare it outside of all handlers, and above all the ones meant to
share it. Like this:
==== stack script ====
local theTarg
on mouseUp
put the target into theTarg
send "thud" to me in 1 sec
beep
end mouseUp
on thud
answer "The recent target was" && theTarg & "."
end thud
==== end of script ====
If the local is declared within the confines of a handler, its scope is that handler
only.
Just a thought...
