i have been struggling with a couple of language issues and I hope some one can set me straight.
Issue 1). What is the syntax to get the contents of a field when you have the long IDE to the field. Put something ( long ID of field "foo", 2) into x ... Function something obj pl Get the formattedrect of line pl of obj -- this works fine Get word 1 of the text of line pl of obj -- this what I want to do but the syntax is wrong End something Issue 2). Can a reference to a variable be passed thru the message path with a send command? Local foo Put "stuff" into var doit var ... On doit @thevar Put "ed" after thevar -- here I want to send the reference to another handler Send "another" & @thevar In 1 second-- this is where I want the reference to be sent and I -- know the syntax is wrong End doit On another @thevar If thevar = "stuffed" then answer "it worked" End another Regards, Mike _______________________________________________ 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
