I've come across what I think is a bug in what is returned as the long name of a control. It only happens in fairly obscure circumstances.
Here's the recipe (LC 5.5). Button script: on mouseUp create graphic create graphic end mouseUp Group the two graphics together and give the group a specific name, eg "Groupa", instead of it's default name Give one of the two graphics a specific name, eg "grc1", instead of its default name Select the named graphic and in the message box, do "put the long name of selobj()" You will get: graphic "grc1" of group "GroupA" of …. Now select the other, unnamed graphic and repeat the message box command. You will get graphic id 123 of group 456 of…… In other words, if a control is unnamed, the long name returns the ids of it's owner(s), not their names. Some of my scripts are failing because of this because I am looking for certain group names in a control's long name To me, this is a bug but I've been corrected before on what I believe to be bugs so what do you think? _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
