Re: Deleting an object with a "bank shot'

Ken...THANK YOU!

...and now...I'm going off to fire me.  I've even suggested a "target" technique at the card level to somebody here a few weeks back.  Sometimes, I just seem to be able to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory with such ease...   ;-)

Best Regards,

Tim,

How about simplifying it to:

(script of card):

on wackIt
  delete the target
end wackIt

(script of the btn you want to delete):

on mouseUp
  send "wackit" to me in 10 milliseconds
end mouseUp

This way, it will get a chance to complete its script and then be
deleted when the 'wackit' message passes through the button to the card
script.

Subject: Deleting an object with a "bank shot'


Hello all!

I'm attempting to delete an object when I click on it.  Of 
course...no 
can do a frontal lobotomy on yourself...so, I'm trying to use 
the send 
"in time" structure to send a message to the card that the 
object is on. 
 These are the handlers:

in the card:

on wackIt thisOne
     delete thisOne
end wackIt

in the btn I want to delete:

on mouseUp
     do "send wackIt ("&quote&"btn id"&&the id of me&quote&") to 
card"&&quote&"PGM Builder"&quote&&"in 1 tick"
end mouseUp


I've checked the mouseUp handler by substituting "put" for "do", and 
what I get in the msg box looks ok:

send wackIt ("btn id 1297") to card "PGM Builder" in 1 tick

But I get an error when attempting to execute the above from 
the msg box.


I know the "wackIt" handler is ok, because I've executed this 
from the 
msg box successfully:

wackIt ("btn id 1297")


It seems to me that the send "in time" doesn't have the 
ability to pass 
the parameter.  Is this the problem?  Should I be using a "function" 
structure instead of the "on" structure?  I know I could 
accomplish this 
by using a global var, but this just seems more straight forward.

Thanks in advance for any assistance!

Best Regards,

Tim Ponn
