Took me a couple of times through that to get what you meant. Ah...
you mean that same switch code is duplicated in other objects as well.
What I'd do in that case is move it out of the objects and make a
handler farther along the message path (the stack script, for
instance) as
command ParseIt
switch blahBlahBlah
end switch
end ParseIt
then in the mouseUp handlers just say
on mouseUp
...
ParseIt
...
end mouseUp
it's make maintenance much easier and your stack will lose a bit of
flabbiness in the process.
It certainly seemed like good advice until I tried what you suggested:
I moved the "recyclable" code into the stack script and called it from
each object.
BUT, the interesting thing as that, while the objects called the code
successfully, it meant
that the individualised segments of code in the object that came after
the recyclable code
stopped working properly.
This is a right bu**er as your advice would have meant I could reduce my
file size considerably.
