Thanks for the interest Jan. I find that I am a victim of my own stupidity (of course)
but also of the error reporting in the Revo development environment. The error I got
was ' Handler: can't find handler', with the value being the name of the handler I
thought was missing, and on pressing the 'script' button in the error report, I got
the script of the caller. So I thought that the call in the script was to a handler
that wasn't there or wasn't in the message path... however after a lot of research, I
found that the call did in fact take place, and the error occurred apparently within
the handler (not its caller) at a 'pass' statement (which I'd put there instead of an
'exit' statement, but that's another story). I boiled it down to two stacks: a
mainstack with the script:
on startUp
answer "we are going to the substack"
send "TryIt" to stack "TestSubstack"
end startUp
on mainStackThing
answer "We've arrived at mainStackThing"
end mainStackThing
in the substack, the script is
on TryIt
if the optionkey is down then
pass TryIt
else
mainStackThing
end TryIt
When we use the message box to send 'startUp' to the mainstack without the option key
down, we get a call of 'mainStackThing'.
When we try it with the option key down, we get the error 'can't find handler' with
the value TryIt and the offending statement 'send "TryIt" to stack "TestSubstack" '.
The 'script' button opens the script in the mainstack, so one is led to believe that
this script can't be executed. Confusing, isn't it?
I realise that I am doing wrong stuff, but I would appreciate an explanation from
someone who can understand what was really happening.
TIA
Graham
