My comments about the message path are a paraphrase from the documentation: A before handler allows developers to produce behavior scripts which can handle messages sent to a control without having any effect on the message path, unlike front and back scripts. So, yes, the message does travel a sli...

Thanks Brian - I'll respond to your nice example later, once I've had a chance to test something. I hope you don't mind me quizzing you on this, because to my mind it still doesn't make sense... and I'd like it to ;) 'before' and 'after' don't change the message path. They are additional messages th...

I've modified the chart to hopefully approach accuracy... sadly can't experiment to confirm for a few weeks, but do point out any errors...

I like the idea. I actually threw a stack together last night to test/verify flow. That side route should be “not in” but before/after still will get called. If you pass in the object, then both “on” handlers will fire before the “after” one will. If you pass in the behavior, then the “after” will ...

Thanks for the share Brian!

On an unrelated note, I see GitHub views your code as 100% HTML, which is mildly aggravating...
When will LC push for their language to be recognised as such on GitHub?!?!?!

Generally I'm not sure you can use the custom props as an array as is and have found I have to put them into their own array.
This should work:
S.

Well arguably, StartUp is still an event, so not sure that merits its own header - can't list every single event generated in LC! I presume StartUp bypasses the frontScripts, as it's sent to card 1, but not sure... The 3 annotated events here are special inasmuch as they can bypass the default path....

I like having them in the muted color like your last one. I think an info box at the bottom with some of the caveats that should be considered would work. Behaviors support the before/after control structures which allows developers to produce behavior scripts which can handle messages sent to a co...

As a solution to that last point, I’ll change the “from other stacks” to “from other message paths”. Hopefully this will reduce confusion?

As to the former, given that I would like this as visual as possible, I think I’ll ad a small inset graph showing before/default/after, that may work better…

I’m not sure you can really represent behaviors cleanly like that. They don’t sit where they are drawn completely. In addition to catching messages that are not present in the object you can also have “before” and “after” handlers that fire before/after the handler in the object. Thanks Brian, The ...

Don't you read the previous postings?
LC 9.6.11 is the latest stable version.

Still might be worth checking to see if also present using 9.6.12 (RC1) and/or 10.0.0 DP8, there's a number of fixes in those...

To my surprise, when I attempted to add a "mouseUp handler script" to the Script Widget in the stack, it failed to trigger :?: What do you mean by this? Do you mean adding a handler to the built widget's script window? Or inside the scriptOnlyStack that builds the widget? If it's the former, you pr...

Jeff, it doesn't seem to be your code - the 6 year old bug you link has clearly been assessed as a bug affecting android (and not iPhone) and is exactly what you're describing, if I understood your issue correctly. Perhaps post a question in the bug report? Richard has done so previously to no avail...
