Re: autoScript

Manually enter a scrip into btn "BB"

Then modify your first mentioned script to:

on mouseUp
  put the script of btn "BB" into oldScript
  put "make me coffee" into newScript
  set the script of btn "BB" to newScript
  put the script of btn "BB" into checkScript
  breakpoint
end mouseUp

With debug mode ON, running the script should stop at the breakpoint
and you should be able to check the values of:

oldScript
newScript
checkScript

Re: autoScript

[Mike Bonner]

I've found a way to make it fail, but find it is very unlikely it is the
cause of your issue (because its a silly little thing)  But out of
curiosity. if you add some type of msg box output to the handler that sets
the script of the button, this would ensure that the setting handler
actually fires. (which is related to the silly little extremely unlikely
method I've found that I'm hesitant to share because it is SO darn
unlikely.)

Re: autoScript

[Richmond]

I am very, very far from being a purist, lest you have not worked that 
out many long years ago.


When I submitted a Master's degree thesis in Applied Linguistics at 
Southern Illinois University
at Carbondale I was criticised by 2 out of 3 of my degree committee for 
not sticking to 'pure'
Cognitive Linguistics, but pinching bits from Functionalism, and even 
(Ouch) drawing on
Philosophy of Language. I told the defence team that I didn't like 
barriers between disciplines, and as
Cognitive Linguistics criticised Chomsky's Generative Linguistics for 
relying on sharply defined categories, there should be nothing wrong 
with my not stopping within any sharply defined
"Congnitive Linguistics" boundaries, and that as my first degree was in 
Philosophy (rather more
empirical than rational) I really wasn't convinced that 'Linguistics' 
wasn't a discipline invented by
failed Philosophers who couldn't tackle Philosophy of Language for fear 
of getting their feet wet.


The world does not deal is 'purity', and, indeed, 'purity' may be a 
socking great delusion that has

caused the human race no end of problems.

Now my approach to coding (whether in Livecode or elsewhere) is like my 
approach to EFL teaching:
unless it is illegal, harmful or obviously immoral, as long as it gets 
the job done that's fine.


Somebody the other day accused me of being a "computer programmer", at 
which point I just
stopped myself laughing in their face; while they intended that to be a 
compliment, I'm not
really sure if I like it. I would far rather see myself as a person who, 
when he has a job to get done,

tries, by any means possible, to get it done.

This is, exactly, one of the reasons I like Livecode so much: it lends 
itself to all styles of "getting things done" !

Could you define "does not work"? The script doesn't get set? It's there

Your sample stack included in the bug report, as well as a more
complete example that includes an actual handler definition, both work
as expected in v9dp1 under Ubuntu 14..04.

Think about it: if the "set the script..." command didn't work, the
Script Editor wouldn't work, and it wouldn't be possible to do any
scripting in LiveCode at all.

I suspect something else is in play in your running of the test

It sounds to me like there's a problem with the inheritance path. You could 
try looping through the childIDs and deleting any that are interfering.

Re: autoScript

Dunno about that: I suffer from hardWork, creativity and perseverance, 
but there are no

signs on even payForMyCoffee let alone makeMeRich . . .

could be something to do with too many uses of the term 'wrongNiche' in 
my code . . .


now back to the Sanskrit . . .

Love, Richmond.

Ha, Ha; yes, to be honest, I am drinking coffee I made myself; but, for

the posting I decided to NOT give you the 5204 line script I am trying

Re: autoScript

[Tore Nilsen]

At this point in the discussion I feel a need to clarify that while also the 
original the script (make me coffee) was set, the button BB did not actually 
make coffee. I still had to go to the kitchen and perform the necessary magic 
myself. 

And I think that most people will find that making coffee is slightly beyond 
the capabilities of LC, regardless of version or OS.

Tore

Re: autoScript

[Mike Bonner]

Ah, my apologies.  In that case I'm surprised it DOESN'T work in 8 (when
including on mouseup and end mouseup)

Now I'm curious.  If I recall correctly, setting a script with an error of
some type, causes the script to be placed into the button but not actually
be functional.  Since the more recent versions of lc seem to give less
latitude in syntax, you might check the result (and it?) after setting the
script.  In addition, if you go into the script editor afterwards does the
script actually appear as it should?  If you enter a space (just to set the
dirty flag) and then re-apply the script from inside the editor, does it
give an error?
I think, setting the script pretty much works no matter what, but if the
script has a problem, while the script is THERE, it just won't work until
the problem is resolved and reapplied.

Re: autoScript

I didn't bother to include the 'on mouseUp' and 'end mouseUp' in my initial
message as I thought they would be assumed.

I'm surprised it works in 7 since it should result in an orphaned line of

It works in both 7.1.3 and 8.1.0 and 8.1.1 on MacOS here with me. The script is
