Hi Jaqueline Thanks a lot. I did something of that, but stead buttons I use one variable "scriptflag". In every buttonscript the scriptflag corresponds with a handler in the stacskcript. The script in the field is:
global scriptflag on mouseUp if scriptflag="gocard" then send gocard else if scriptflag=..... send... else if scriptflag=..... send... end if end mouseUp
So, thanks to Klaus Major, I am out of this problem, waiting for the next one.
Every day I find astonishing things in Rev and I wonder how Toolbook can exist without these statements. Every day I find astonishing things in Rev and I wonder why Rev did not copy them from Toolbook.
Thanks for your attention. Rob

Your suggestion to use "set the script of fld "content" to the script of btn "wijzigen"
was the first statement I tried. I put it as last statment into a handler, but got
the errormessage that a script cannot be altered while running.
Then I tried "send foo", foo being a handler in de stackscript. Same errormessage,
because what I need is not to execute handler "foo", but to replace the script of a field.
Example.
1.
The listfield is an index. Clicking a line opens a card:
on mouseup;get selectedtext;go card it
2.
A button is pressed to get a new script into that field.
Now that field may delete a card.
Or a button is pressed to get a new script into that field.
Now that field may change the content of a card.
3.
Here comes the problem:
The main task of the listfield is being an index to go to a card.
So I need a statement on the end of each script to reset the script
of that listfield to "on mouseup;get selectedtext;go card it".
This is easily done in Toolbook, but I can't find it in Transscript.
This isn't how we usually do it in Revolution. In general, scripts themselves are rarely changed, and in fact, if you compile a stack into a standalone there are strict limits on replacing scripts so it isn't a practical approach.
Instead, the scripts should be unchanging and branch to the correct behavior instead of trying to replace themselves. This allows one script to handle all circumstances. It is also much easier than replacing the script content.
Do something like this instead:
Set up three radio buttons, one for "go card", another for "delete card" and a third for "change contents". Group them. This ensures that only one can be hilited at a time. Then your field script should do this:
on mouseUp put the selectedtext of me into theCd if the hilite of btn "go card" then go card theCd else if the hilite of btn "delete card" then delete card theCd else if the hilite of btn "change contents" then -- do whatever you need here end if end mouseUp
One script handles everything. If your actions are lengthy, you can call another handler instead of putting the commands directly into the "mouseup" handler, like this:
... else if the hilite of btn "change contents" then doCardChanges theCd end if ...
on doCardChanges theCd -- do stuff here to card theCd end doCardChanges
