The answer is to put a handler like this into the script of the stack (so
that it can be called from *any* card in the stack):
on LightsOut CardName
lock screen # this is optional, depending on how many buttons you're gonna
unhilite
repeat with K1 = 1 to the number of buttons on card CardName
set the hilite of button K1 of card CardName to false
end repeat
unlock screen # again, optional, depending on the number of buttons
end LightsOut
Any time you want to unhilite an entire card's worth of buttons, just put
one line -- "LightsOut (the short name of this card)" -- into the handler
that's doing the unhiliting. If you want to play with multiple cards, something
like this would be useful:
on LightsOut CardNameList # comma-delimited list of card names
lock screen # this is optional, depending on how many buttons you're gonna
unhilite
repeat for each item CN of CardNameList
repeat with K1 = 1 to the number of buttons on card CN
set the hilite of button K1 of card CN to false
end repeat
end repeat
unlock screen # again, optional, depending on the number of buttons affected
end LightsOut
The analogous handler(s) for clearing the contents of text fields are left
as an exercise for the reader.
Hope this helps...
