Hi All,
I've been battling this problem for a few days and have no idea where
to look next. Originally I thought it had to do with global variable
issues between stacks. However, after MUCH hair-pulling it appears
the problem has to do with setting the script property of buttons
dynamically ...or so I think...Keep in mind the following code works
perfectly in development. That is, the last line of the mouseUp
handler in the hidden defaultButton says "answer the script of me".
In development, after all the buttons have been created, clicking any
of the buttons generates a dialog box and the appropriate script. In
standalone mode, the script of all the dynamically created buttons is
empty...even the "answer" command on the last line on makeButtons
returns empty
on makeButton buttonText
set the style of the templateButton to "Button"
set the label of the templateButton to buttonText
set the visible of the templateButton to false
set the width of the templateButton to BUTTON_WIDTH
set the height of the templateButton to BUTTON_HEIGHT
set the opaque of the templateButton to false
set the textAlign of the templateButton to "center"
set the threed of the templateButton to false
set the showborder of the templateButton to false
set the autohilight of the templateButton to false
set the textFont of the templateButton to "verdana"
set the textSize of the templateButton to "16"
set the location of the templateButton to DEFULT_LOCATION
lock messages
create button buttonText
unlock messages
set the script of button buttonText to the script of button
"defaultButton" of card "defaultBlock"
set the location of it to getNextButtonLocation()
set the myHome of it to the location of it
set the visible of button buttonText to true
answer the script of button buttonText
end makeButton
All the buttons are exactly the same except for their label. They
all have the same functionality so i store the script for the buttons
in a button whose visibility is set to false. In development mode
everything works perfectly. All the buttons appear, they all contain
the script from the hidden button, and they all use their respective
scripts as intended. However, if I open the stack using the "go"
command from within another stack, the above makeButton command does
not set the script property of the buttons and hence none of them
work. If I set the visibility of the original hidden button to true,
it works fine. So for some reason, setting the script of a button at
runtime does not seem possible. Does anyone know what I'm doing
wrong here??
Completely frustarted,
Emilio
