Re: Basic question about behaviors

[Paul Hibbert via use-livecode]

Bill, try this in the behaviour button script:

on mouseUp
  put the long name of this me into theName  —theName will contain the long 
name of the behaviour button.
end mouseUp

put this me into theName - would put the value contained in the text property 
of the behaviour button into theName. In standard, default and rectangle 
buttons we don’t normally use the text property, but there’s nothing stopping 
you from using it if you wish, you just need to populate it first. :)

This Me only works in the behavior script, not the button script. Not sure if

Try the execution contexts. And yes, this me will return the behavior object 
itself.

This is probably trivial, but I’d appreciate any help.

Wouldn’t it just be “me”?  And “this me” should be the behavior object.

Basic question about behaviors

[prothero--- via use-livecode]

I have assigned a behavior to a button. The behavior button/source is on a 
different stack. It works fine. But a click on a movie player, on the same 
card, triggers the mouseUp handler in the behavior, which I don’t want to 
happen. It seems odd that this would happen, but I need to fix it.

My solution is to test whether the target is the button, or something else. I 
solved it by trapping the mouseUp message in a script on the player. However, I 
was trying to figure out how to get the behavior to give me the source/origin 
of the mouseUp message. I can get the name of the card using “the owner” but 
can’t seem to find the right syntax to get the name of the button that the 
behavior is attached to.

This is probably trivial, but I’d appreciate any help.

Bill
