Is it true the Menu Builder is 'Write Only' and can't edit? No, you should be able to edit it. Click the Edit button, and then choose the menubar. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | [EMAIL PROTECTED] HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Re: Menu Builder is causing big problems in my stack!
Also, I think it has long been recommended best practice to begin your design process by creating your menubar FIRST even if you never populate it until later. Saves a lot of heartache in my experience. Dan On Jul 15, 2004, at 8:08 PM, Sarah Reichelt wrote: Has anyone else experienced infuriating, buggy behavior with the menu builder?

One time it chopped off 22 pixels each time I opened the stack, making for a nice disappearing stack. G! Yes, this is a long time bugbear. My current preferred option ( I don't know if it works on non-Mac systems) is to make a separate stack containing nothing but the menu. Do NOT check Set as menubar on Mac OS but in your main stack use a line like: set the menubar of this stack to Menubar 1 You don't need to tell it which stack contains Menubar 1, it will find it if it is in a substack. Then you can edit the menus their scripts easily and avoid the whole stack resizing business.

Re Menu Builder
Thanks for all colleagues who helped but it is not yet working. I noticed that only after saving the stack that this error is produced i.e. message is called prior to saving. Suspecting that I might be still under the free trail I put a button with 15 line of scripts ( like : put number return after a field) this worked fine . I am still baffled -- All the best --- M.

Re: menu builder
Your script looks fine, so there are a few other possibilities: Have you changed the text of the menu items? If your menu item is About MyApp... then it won't get caught in this switch. Is there another handler in the same script that might have an error so that the complete script fails to compile? Do you have any front scripts that might be trapping the menuPick? To test, I would add a new line to your handler as follows: on menuPick pWhich put pWhich switch pWhich This will allow you to check that your handler is being called and give you the exact parameter that is being passed to it.
