Is this a known change in 2.6?
The scrip below functioned as expected in Rev 2.5. When the user
click "Cancel" in response to the "ask" command the "it" variable was
set to empty. Not so in 2.6.
In 2.6 the script behaves differently. When the user clicks "Cancel,"
there is a error response. The "ask" command does not return empty to
the "it" variable--I'm not sure what "it" is. It shows empty but
charToNum return the zero character.
From the Docs:
If the user cancels the dialog, the it variable is set to empty
and the result function returns "cancel".
on mouseUp
ask "What field to save?"
--User clicks "Cancel"
if it is not empty then
--Debugger steps into this line even
--though "Cancel" was clicked.
put it into temp1 --Shows empty
put chartonum(it) into temp2 --Shows 0, i.e. zero
put the result into temp3--Shows empty but should be "cancel"
put field it into tContents --Error message
else put field 1 into tContents
ask file "Put where?"
if it is not empty then
put "file:"& it into tFileName
put tContents into url tFileName
else
beep
exit mouseUP
end if
end mouseUp
There is a work-around. Test the the "result" not "it," i.e. use:" If
the result is not empty."
