I'm using Studio version 2.8.1 on an intel Mac running Leopard (10.5.2).
Also running Galaxy and GL2. I'm getting weird behavior that I don't
understand. An object is recognized for some things but not others. For
example, in the following script, which simply clears a field:
ON mouseUp
IF fld "notes_note" is not empty THEN
answer "Really clear?" with "Cancel" OR "Yes"
IF it is "Yes" THEN
put empty into fld "notes_note" -- "notes_note"
END IF
ELSE
answer "The note field is already empty."
END IF
END mouseUp
In running the script, field "notes_note" is recognized in the IF
statement, but I get an error message "Chunk: no such object" when I run the
script, at the line that says "put empty into fld "notes_note". Anyone know
what's up? It seems to happen when I put a field into a group, more than at
other times.
I remember seeing some discussion of circumstances in which the ask and
answer dialogs would alter the execution context, resulting in the
symptoms you describe.
Whether that's happening here I can't say; I don't recall the specifics.
Anyone here know more about the ask/answer context issue, and whether
that may be the culprit here?

Yes, if I remove the answer dialogue, then the script runs just fine. How
does one get around this bug?
For now:
put the defaultStack into tSaveStack
answer "Really clear?" with "Cancel" OR "Yes"
put it into tVal
set the defaultStack to tSaveStack
IF tVal is "Yes" THEN
put empty into fld "notes_note" -- "notes_note"
END IF
For all mankind:
It's really kinda dumb if we need to save and restore the defaultStack
for ask/answer dialogs. Does anyone here know the RQQC# for this issue,
and has it been confirmed fixed as of v2.9DP4?
