Hi All.
I am almost a complete newbie and only made one app for my lab with a lot of help from Sarah. I am back in runrev to make a labbook and I'm making a testapp to try the concept. So please excuse the stupidity.
No question is stupid, and no apology is needed. We all had to start somewhere, and you've come to the right place. Welcome to the Revolution!
I only need to get me head around one thing then I'm off and running. I hope you can help.
I have a main stack "mainstack" with buttons on it, one called "Addtextfield" . I have 2 other stacks
1)"Textfield" with a card on it called "TextfieldCard" and a field in this called "InsertTextfield"
2)"BlankStack" with a card called "BlankCard with nothing on it.
I want the button "Addtextfield" on the "mainstack" to duplicate the field "InsertTextfield" and place the copy on on the card "BlankCard" on stack "BlankStack"
I am using the script
on mouseUp add field "InsertTextfield" to BlankCard end mouseUp
This seems too simple and indeed it does not work. Am I missing something simple or is it a lot more difficult than this.
It is as simple as this, but you need to use a different command. The "add" command is only for doing arithmetic when you need to add numbers together. What you want is the "copy" command (take a look in the Transcript dictionary for more info on "copy".)
The engine assumes that commands act on the current stack unless you specify differently. Because you want to copy between two different stacks, you'll have to specify what those stacks are. The full command would be (watch out for line wrap here):
copy field "InsertTextfield" of stack "Textfield" to card 1 of stack "BlankStack"
Don't be shy about asking anything else you need to know. That's what the list is for.
