Hi Jacque,
This sounds like a typical memory shortage problem. I'd ask the user
about memory, free disk space, and the amount of icons in the lower
right corner, if this is on a PC.
Additionally, the screen may stop being redrawn if there is a repeat
loop running with messages or if a wait command has been issued with
messages.
You can probably easily work around the problem by using a repeat loop
and setting the loc of the object to the mouseloc. This way, the two
problems mentioned above will not occur.
Thanks. No loops or waits are in the scripts. It's really only a
one-line "grab" command. However, I just sent him a revised staack that
replaced "grab" with a repeat loop that sets the button to the mouseloc.
That has the same symptoms; it doesn't work for him either. The odd
thing is, some other butttons with exactly the same script do work for
him. So it is intermittent.
He is running OS X with a gig of RAM, and Activity Monitor says he has
513 megs free. That's more RAM than I have, so there must be something
else going on. Besides not updating during a drag, he reports now that
when he clicks a button that changes an icon, sometimes the icon doesn't
change. But when he leaves the card and returns, the changed icon shows
up. These buttons also all work okay for me on both Windows and Mac.
We are going to assume there is something wrong with his Mac unless
anyone else has any ideas? I've never seen behavior like this, and I
can't reproduce it here. Graphics card problem, maybe?
