Bernd,

Fun stuff. Thank you.

That home stack is a doozy.

Glad to hear someone thinks the weekend starts today.

Do you have a secret list of undocumented native LC words? My favorite is "the messageMessages", but I know there are lots more.

Richmond. Which stack? Whichever stack. It turns out that in a new session, only the stack "revNewScriptEditor" is loaded, and it seems to be some sort of template builder for new instances of an SE as they are called. I just never knew that. But the "1" appended to the working, "real" SE should hav...

A current thread about finding a lost cursor made me offer the suggestion to: if the optionKey is down then set the screenMouseLoc to the loc of this stack Works fine. But the OP mentioned that the issue was when he was editing scripts, so I thought I could be more helpful, and tested: if the option...

Good, Just so you know, you can also:

Code: Select all

if the optionKey is down then set the screenMouseLoc to  the loc of  stack "revNewScriptEditor 1"

which will place the cursor in the center of the SE.

You can write a little ditty in the stack script like:

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
   if the optionKey is down then set the screenMouseLoc to  the loc of this stack
end mouseUp

Now just click with optionKey and the cursor will appear at the center of the card window.

Paul and Stam are trying to convince you to solve your problem like an adult would. But I ran into something like this many years ago, and solved it like a petulant child. I substituted ASCII 210 (or 211, I cannot now remember) for every quote constant at risk: replace quote with numToChar(210) in y...

So is this worth an enhancement request, to add a sixth format to the "export" command?

Craig

Well, more complicated than I thought.

If your handler is in the stack script, it does not work. The openStack handler fires but nothing happens. But if it is this in the stack script:

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
   palette me
end mouseUp

it work fine if you click on the card window.

"Me" really cannot be used that way. It only refers to the object that contains a running handler. So you could make this work if you put your original handler in the stack script.

They are xml files. I assume that they present their vector graphic data in a certain format. The issue, I guess, is that the SVG data is not exportable by LC in its "SVG" format.

Craig

Richmond.

The dictionary does not seem to include that format in the five it mentions.

Craig

Hi.

I do not do mobile, but reading the dictionary about that command, what do you get in "the result" after the command executes?

Craig

dunbarx

Craig or Stam bring up something slightly better...

Slightly?
