I am working on my first ever programming project, a simple periodic table, and have created the interface using colored buttons. At the bottom of the screen I have an area with elemental properties. This is basically a Tab area (for future options) and a series of fields for each property.
What I would like to know is the most elegant beginners way to script the placement of properties into each field on pressing an element button. At this point I am adding the following script to each button:
on mouseup put "Hydrogen" into field "ElementNameField" put "1" into field "AtomicNumberField" put "1.008" into field "AtomicMassField" put "37" into field "AtomicRadiusField" put "N/A" into field "IonicRadiusField" put "1" into field "OxidationStatesField" put "gas" into field "StateField" put "8.9E-5" into field "DensityField" put "-259" into field "MeltingPointField" put "-253" into field "BoilingPointField" put "0.12" into field "HeatFusionField" put "0.90" into field "HeatVapField" put "14.90" into field "SpecificHeatField" put "0.002" into field "ThermalCondField" put "13.60" into field "IonizationEnergyField" put "0.75" into field "ElectronAffinityField" put "2.2" into field "ElectronegativityField" put "1400" into field "AbundanceField" end mouseup
It works great, but I hoping to learn if there was a better way that might improve speed or save file size. My next questions will probably be about icons, about boxes, building, and distribution.
Many thanks,
Paul
