ahh. i suspect putting this in an onCardOpen handler will do the trick
then, thanks for the kick in the logical pants. :)
Yours,

Subject: simple local variable question
Howdy,
I'm declaring some local variables at the top of a card script that I
need to use in several handlers... here is a simplified recipe
question
that will help me understand why I'm not able to access the values I'm
assigning to them:
--card script begins here
local rotAngle
put 20 into rotAngle
on mouseUp
answer rotAngle
end mouseUp
--
My question is, why does this not put up an answer dialog with "20" in
it? the dialog that comes up is empty.
It comes up empty because nothing can ever cause 'rotAngle' to be set.
Any
executable code not inside a handler can never be executed.

Thanks,
Chris
