Thanks, that is just too weird. Doesn't seem like it *should* work,
but it does.
If you like weird, try this:
on mouseUp
send "beep -- herald something" to me
send "set the backcolor of me to red" to button "B"
end mouseUp
This works. Even if you add 'in <fakeDelay>', you can see the
"handler" is named "set" in the pendingMessages().
Now just when that and invoking a custom command with variable
parameters in a send start to make sense, try this:
on mouseUp
put blue into newColor
send "beep -- anounce something" to me
send "set the backcolor of me to newColor" to button "B"
end mouseUp
That fails with "can't find hander ... set".
Now if you try 'in <fakeDelay>', you can still see the message in
pendingMessages(), but because it is 'in <fakeDelay>', then there is no
error message if the handler is not found (the color is not changed).
However, this works just fine:
on mouseUp
put blue into newColor
do "set the backcolor of me to newColor"
end mouseUp
Except it is now the button you clicked not "B" that is changed. And
'do' will work just fine with a custom command with variable
parameters.
Try this:
on mouseUp
put blue into newColor
send "put newColor after message" to button "B"
end mouseUp
Y' get "newColor" added to the message box.
So what is the one case that is different? It is the lack of the
ability to use variable parameters in non-custom commands. IMHO, that
is the weird part. But maybe that is a good thing.
Try this:
on mouseUp
send "dosomething v()" to me in 2 seconds
end mouseUp
function v
beep
return 5
end v
on doSomething x
put x after message
end doSomething
I hear the beep and then two seconds later the 5 is added to the
message box.
on mouseUp
send "put the backcolor of me after message" to button "B"
end mouseUp
That displays the color of button "B". If that weird part I mentioned
above is "fixed", then that would probably change. Maybe we don't want
it to. I'm OK with the change.
