And
Here's a routine I wrote a while ago to do this:
on BackupOneLevel sPathIn
sPathOut = sPathIn
theDelim = the last Char of sPathIn
delete the last char of sPathOut -- delete delim
repeat while TRUE
lastChar = the last Char of sPathOut
if lastChar = theDelim then
exit repeat
Only one. There is just a single ancestor keyword.
You can really nest ancestor scripts, but an ancestor script can
set its own ancestor, etc. But it sounds like you are looking for
multiple inheritance - and Lingo does not allow that.

If you can do that, then as Tab said, you can tell the difference
between you conditions. You need two checks, first to see if the if
the property exists, then if the property exists
Two possible solutions.
1) Simplest fix. Store the mouseLoc into a local variable then
check against the local variable. the mouseloc is a system call
which chews up time. Do this instead:
theCurrentMouseLoc = the mouseLoc
repeat with i = 1 to nRects
if inside(theCurrentMouseLoc,
I don't know anything about Gary's address book, but there is a
problem with the code you posted. According to the Lingo manual, the
mouseline is the number of thhe line under the pointer when the
property is called and the cursor is over a field sprite. It is
typicaly used when the user
And here's another version of the code that Buzz just posted. It's a
little more efficient because generates the random list in one pass
using only a single list:
on scrambleText oldStr
list1 = []
-- create a sequence of scrambled numbers
n = oldStr.char.count
repeat with i = 1
