Re: How to auto repeat the on mouseUp [SOLVED]

Regards,

Ruth

Re: How to auto repeat the on mouseUp [SOLVED]

Sorry SparkOut both files had a similar name in my learning folder and yours really was self explanatory.

I do thank you for your time and patience, it was much appreciated and I can now move on to another issue which I have yet to solve.

Kind regards,

Ruth

EDITED: The text below in italics was my mistake in that I failed to open the correct file. Well the sample stack written by Jaqueline and Kevin no doubt in any other person's hands other than mine is an excellent reference point. However, I have failed to find/understand what I should use to repla...

Re: How to auto repeat the on mouseUp

I removed the 2 problem lines and all is now working. However, before I go onto your If that works, then edit the on updateTheData handler with a check for valid integer value in the field on clicking your message button this appears:- 6258,1420187535.991,updateTheData,card id 1283 of stack "C:/01 L...

Re: How to auto repeat the on mouseUp

Thanks SparkOut and I will study it as we appear to be close to a result. It could be I'm getting very tired and need to look afresh in the morning and I will get back to you.

I do thank you for your time as I'm not the sharpest knife in the draw regarding LC.

Regards,

Ruth
