Re: Intermittent performance

[Klaus Major]

Hi John,
I have a field "theWord", into which letters are added. If a mistake 
is made
upon entry, the user is able to delete the last character of the field 
by
clicking on a button that contains the script found below... or by 
employing
the option key at the same time the user can clear the whole field.

The problem I have is that the first time the user clicks on the 
field, a
character is deleted. The second time a user clicks on the field then 
there
is no response, until the user clicks a third time.

I must point out that the cursor does not leave the rect of the button
during these clicks.
on mouseUp
  if the optionKey is "down" then
    put empty into fld "theWord"
    exit mouseUp
  end if
  put the number of chars of fld "theWord" into charCount
  put char 1 to (charCount -1) of fld "theWord" into fld "theWord"
end mouseUp
Any ideas why it does not work everytime ?
I tried with this script (is a bit shorter, lazy moi :-) and it worked 
fine...
Everytime and with a fast response!

OK, "monkey-clicking" may drop one "mouseup" or two, but in general no 
probs..

on mouseUp
  if the optionKey is "down" then
    put empty into fld  "theWord"
  else
    delete char -1 of fld  "theWord"
  end if
end mouseUp
regards
John Dixon
