I put my script into a separate button. I think yours was in the Option button.
Put this script into your Option button:
on menuPick pItemName
put field 1 into tAngle --Or wherever your angle is located
put tAngle*pi/180 into tAngle
put pItemName into tTrigFunct
switch tTrigFunct
case "sine"
put sin(tAngle) into tValue
put "The sine of " & tAngle*180/pi & " degrees is " & tValue into
tResult
break
case "cosine"
put cos(tAngle) into tValue
put "The cosine of " & tAngle*180/pi & " is " & tValue into tResult
break
case "tangent"
put tan(tAngle) into tValue
put "The Tangent of " & tAngle*180/pi & " is " & tValue into tResult
end switch
put tResult into field 2
end menuPick
You should get a field 2 that locks like this, if the angle is 45 degrees::
The sine of 45 degrees is 0.707107
Is that the results you wanted?
