Hi Xavier,
I found this in the docs:
>>
To create a script local variable, you use the local command in the script, but
outside any handler:
local mySharedVariable
on mouseDown
put 2 into mySharedVariable
end mouseDown
on mouseUp
answer mySharedVariable -- displays "2"
end mouseUp
Any handler that comes after the local declaration can use the script local variable.
<<
I noticed that in the TD entry for "local" does not really make it clear
that it is only handlers after the declaration of a script local variable
that can use that variable. It looks to me that in your mouseUp handler
it will be creating a 'handler local' variable.
Regards,
Bernard

Subject: Strange local behavior (plus a cool tip!)
Maybe this is my pandimensional processor acting up but I wanted to know
if
the following is localized to this computer or you have had the same
experience.
I entered a bug regarding the loss of hilitedlines in a list field after
resizing a stack.
so I wrote this nice little handler to save the face of my applications
<script 1>
on mouseUp
put the hilitedtext of me into x
put the hilitedline of me into ilastselection -- for reselect handler
bla bla bla
end mouseUp
local ilastselection
on reselect
-- in case selection is lost
set the hilitedline of me to ilastselection
end reselect
When I needed to use the hilitedline of this field, I would just send
"Reselect" to the field and the hilitedline would come back if it was
lost.
Well, funny behavior is that it never worked!
So I put the "local" statement before the mouseup and now it works.
I checked the documentation to see if there was a mention of precedence
but
there isn't any.
So is it normal? Should I write a bugzilla to suggest documentation change
or a script precendence bug?
cheerios
Xavier
