So these days I tend toward very explicit references:
put tMyMenuContents into btn "Edit" of stack "MyMenuBar"

on setupedit local otype put word 1 to 2 of the selobjs into otype if word 1 of otype is "card" and word 2 of otype is among the items of "field,button,image,player,scrollbar,graphic" then delete word 1 of otype else delete word 2 of otype if otype is empty or otype is "card" or otype is "stack" then disable menuItem 9 of menu "Edit" else enable menuItem 9 of menu "Edit" if word 1 of the selobjs is "group" and the number of lines in (the selobjs) is 1 then put "Un&group/G" into menuItem 9 of menu "Edit" else put "&Group/G" into menuItem 9 of menu "Edit" end if if the editBackground of the topStack then put "Stop Editing &BG/T" into menuItem 10 of menu "Edit" else put "&Backgrounds.../T" into menuItem 10 of menu "Edit" end setupedit
It seems like we should apply Richard's thinking to the MetaCard Menubar...
to retrieve the data from the button, change it, then reset the data of the
button (explicitly!) we'd get around any of these kinds of bugs.
I think i can workaround this for now by adding the correct descriptor to the
appropriate lines like:
...
else put "&Backgrounds.../T" into menuItem 10 of menu "Edit" of grp\
"MetaCard Menu Bar" of cd 1 of stack "mctools"
...Looks like this could work? No probably not, since this will surely mess up MY "edit" menu again ;-)
I better try this
...
else put "&Backgrounds.../T" into line 10 of btn "Edit" of grp "MetaCard...
## THAT is where is is meant to go...
...
Just my 2 cents,
And my (old) german "Groschen" (= a dime, but the "Groschen" has gone with the DeutschMark :-)
