Okay so here is an odd thing. Given that the imageSource of char 1 of eack line of a scrolling field is set to a graphic (A plus sign in this case):on selectionChanged put the clickChar into tChar if tText is not space then exit selectionChanged put word 2 of the clickLine into tLine put the buttonlist of me into aButtonList -- an array put aButtonList ["buttonNames"] into tButtonList -- contains names of 3 buttons each line preceded by 2 tabsif tButtonList is not in me thenput tButtonList before line tLine+1 of me -- works great! else replace tButtonList with empty in me -- removes the imageSource on char 1 of every line end if end selectionChanged This works, but on the second click it replaces the imageSource on every line. That shouldn't happen should it??
ImageSource is sort of like text styles, you can see it most clearly in the htmlText of a field. An imageSource is represented by tags just like bold, italic, and other styles. You'd see the same behavior if the lines were bold instead of having an imageSource.
Inserting some lines into a field doesn't change the styling of the other lines, it just adds some additional unstyled text.
The replace command works only on plain text and in this case the script is passing the entire content of the field. The replace command gets the full text, does the replacement, and puts the text back. As far as it's concerned, the imageSource characters are just spaces. Styling tags are ignored and consequently stripped out.
You can either get the lineOffset of the unwanted lines and delete only those, which leaves the htmlText intact elsewhere, or you could get the htmlText of the field, do the replacement, and then set the field's htmlText to the revised content.
