That's it Mike !  Thank you !!

I had Script Debug Mode off - unintentionally, and had forgotten there was such a thing. Whn I turned it back on, then the error appeared as expected in the bottom pane of the editor window.

No idea what has happened to my error window that should appear when debug mode is off; I can't find any windows that appear to be off-screen. (But maybe it's gone again by the time I open the msg box and look ??)
What is the name of that window ?
Any settings for it I could check ?

Thanks again
-- Alex.

If script debug is off, an error window pops up saying handler not found
with a can't find handler error also as expected.

Is it possible you have debug mode off and your error window is offscreen
or not coming to the front?

Is this a bug, or a feature, or just something in my environment ?

Create a new stack, add a button, and make the button script be


on mouseUp pMouseBtnNo
     put "we get here"
     trythis(1)
     put "but do we get to here"
end mouseUp

(Yes, I know it's wrong - that's the point :-)

Compile this script - no error.

In the card script, put

function trythis p
     return 1
end trythis

and compile this, then click the button.

It outputs the first line (i.e. "we get here") and then just stops.
silently.

If you correct it to
     get trythis(1)
then it all works OK.

Does this happen for others, or just me ?
Shouldn't there be some kind of error flagged when the button is clicked, to show that a function has been called as though it were a handler ? Or
at least to warn that execution has just stopped in mid-flight ?

Thanks
