Re: Refer to Cards

[Roger Guay]

Thanks, but I don't think this will work for what I need.  What I need 
is a command that forces subsequent lines of script to  act only on a 
specified card.  Something like:

on someHandler
	Do something to look only at card x for the following lines -- this is 
the line I'm after
 	hide object 1
	show object 2
	put "something" into fld 3
	etc.
	Do something to look only at cd y for the following lines -- this is 
the line I'm after
	hide object 1
	show object 2
	put "something" into fld 3
	etc.
end someHandler

I know that SuperCard had this ability, but I don't remember the 
command.

Any help?
Thanks, Roger

 I have a large script which I would like to operate on a number of
identical cards. The script is at the stack level and I need to refer
to each of the identical cards in sequence. Is there a way to put the
focus on a specific card with a (single) line of script without having
to specify the card in every one of the lines? It would simplify my
script immensely if I didn't have to insert the card name everywhere!!
Thanks for your help, Roger

Hi Roger,
Have a look at the mark command and the marked keyword in the
transcript dictionary
(don't forget unmark)
HTH.
