So the *actual* long id reference to any object looks something like:
field id 1388156 of group id 1388155 of group id 1388175 of card id 1002 of
stack "/Users/bobsneidar/Documents/Livecode Projects/Forms Generator 8/Forms
Generator 8.livecode"
If you don't provide all of that as a reference,
Neville.
I know this thread has been broken into parts, but what exactly is your
question?
I made two stacks, The first with a button on it, and this in its script:
on mouseup
put the long id of field 1 of card 1 of stack "untitled 3" into fieldID
put the long ID of the owner of fieldID into
No crashes or errors, I just didn’t get back the data I expected.
Does it really have anything to do with message paths?
I just expected
the long id of field1 of card 1
to do what it says, that is, to return a specifier to (the instance of) field 1
on card 1. At the time I was iterating
Klaus.
You are correct; I missed that the “long iD” was used, and that expression
includes the work “field”. LC can then use that as a valid reference.

You can find the definition of both send and dispatch in the dictionary.
So an example of Dispatch being called from a card of a substack would be:
put the long id of me into tParentCard
dispatch extract to card "Main" of stack "Forms Generator" with tRecordA,
tParentCard, tExclusions

no, if the
I just glanced at this. Down at the very beginning, I noticed something odd.
One cannot do anything with “the text" of a variable; that would not throw an
error, but would always be empty, no?

Hi Bob,
I need more detail how to word the command. No need to send in time, just how
to call that function on a card not in the message path. Thanks!

Send in you need in time. Dispatch if you are not sure the handler exists in
the target. Dispatch will not throw an error if there is no handler.

Bob,
This makes sense.
I’m unclear as to how I would structure the command to call a function in a
card that’s not in the message path.
send … ?

Your point brings up something that was discussed before on this list. It's
going to be cleaner in the long run to "compartmentalize" your handlers so that
a handler is not trying access objects that are not in the message path, or
belong to an object in the message path. A handler should not
If I write
put the long id of field 1 of card 1 into tObject; put the text of tObject
I get the text of field 1 of card 1, right ? Not necessarily.
If field 1 of card 1 is in a shared group, then what I get is the text of field
id something of card id whatever, where whatever is the id of
13 matches
