Jeanne,

I would like to apologize for not acknowledging your kind response sooner but my cable modem service has been down and although I have been able to pick up my personal e-mail at my office, our system would not let me respond as a name that would be recognized as participating in the mailing list.

That said, your little tip on the popup problem pointed me in the right direction and inspired me to develop a little trick which allows any object that can receive a mouseDown message to serve as a popup menu button. This uses single, invisible "rovingPopup" button, a bit of script and a tiny modal stack which allows the contents of the menu list to be modified dynamically by the user.

If there would be any interest I would be happy to supply this to the "user contribution" section of the RunRev website - but truth to tell I'm not very web savvy and I'm not exactly sure how to do this so I think the best approach would be for me to e-mail my little stack to the right person at RunRev. Would that be you?

Thanks and regards,
Alan Gayne

1. I've recently created a number of "popUp" menu buttons with 3 to 7
lines of content. No matter how I fiddle the settings I can't seem to
get these to show a border - I've made sure that the "show border" check
box is checked and that works fine with "pulldown" menu buttons, but not
on the "popUp". I want to use the "popUp" style because I want the
menus to appear off to the side, not straight down. This is probably
something simple - but I haven't been able to figure it out.
As far as I know, you can't get the popup style to appear with a border.

I'd create a standard or rectangle button to show on the screen, put the
popup button behind it, and use this in the rectangle button:

  on mouseDown
    popup button "The Popup" at the bottomLeft of me
  end mouseDown
