Hi, Thanks for the info - it sort of backed up my own thoughts so thats really useful in telling me I'm on the right track.
I found the specific problem though its a little more subtle, it seems that you can't label a button with a number and do this sort of thing. Unfortunately this is exactly what I did! The program is for swimming lap analaysis and so I just used a number as the label for lap select buttons. I found this by using text labels (as in your example) then going back to my numbers. As you say, works fine with text, but apparently not with a number. So, problem sorted now (just 60 buttons to re label!) and I feel much more confident that I know how to use the Object. many thanks for the guidance Steve PS coming from VB/VBA, I'm finding rev a bit 'different' while I'm waiting for my hard manuals to come through. ------------------------------------------------------ >the following code worked fine for me: > > on mouseUp > local tButtonName > put "bob" into tButtonName > set the label of button tButtonName to "hello" > end mouseUp >i had 2 buttons, one named "bob" and the other was just >a generic "new button".. clicking the generic button >would change the label of button "bob".. > >is there something else that you were looking to do? _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
