Anyone ever try to set a del to "" or empty? -----Original Message----- From: "Björnke von Gierke" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "How to use Revolution" <[email protected]> Sent: 1/15/2008 7:15 PM Subject: Re: Constructing and calling a handler as "do"
Although this does not work for handlers, for names of objects I always use space. that way I can say for example: put word 2 of the short name of button 3 -- "autoName 12" --> 12 or: clone button x set the name of it to (the short name of button x && "2") --> "originalName 2" Quite simple to write, read and edit per code...
