ok,

I have made progress.

can I put all my custom handlers in the stack script?

i thought i had to include custom handlers in the object i was using it in?

like

"button777"

on mouseUp
myHandler007
end mouse

on myHandler007
put "9" into fld "888"
end myHandler007

(end of button script)

so ...

mark,

thanks for you suggestion... that was my next question... see my 'new post'

that wont work. I have a "next" and "previous" button on my cards.

the Button03B is on card two

to do what you suggest would mean that every time I go from card 2 to card 1, I would have to put that script into the openCard script.

what if I don't want the card 2 button03b to be clicked ...

sorry folks,

i posted my reply to "timer/counter question" under my "Is this a bug" thread.

Thanks for all the comments and suggestions on my previous posts.

I have my timer/counter working pretty much the way I want it to. The timer/counter involves a number of fields, buttons and scripts in the buttons.

all the fields and buttons are on one card in one stack. I did it this way to get ...

Is this a "bug" or just my computer?

I know I'm new and learning, so maybe I missed something.

from the keyboard:

cntrl + 2 = next card
cntrl + 3 = previous card

however, on my computer, if I have cap-lock ON, this doesn't work. I have to take cap-lock OFF to use keyboard to go to next/previous ...

Mark,

Thanks for the suggestion. I will try that tonite. I had actually thought along those line -- a separate handler to "toggle" the state, but I wasn't quite sure where in the "mouseUp" it should go.

I'll let you know how it works out.

Thanks.

Homer

I know this sounds like a stupid question. I looked thru the documentation and I couldn't figure out or find a good example.

I have a field where I am putting a value.

I want to set the numberFormat for that value to ^^^^.^^, that is four place holders, a decimal point, and two placeholders after ...

ok, I'm making progress... and learning

Thanks Mark for the help.

next thing is this.

I created a button with a label "start1"

local sRunning = false

on mouseUp
if not sRunning then
put true into sRunning
incFld
else
put false into sRunning
end if
set the backgroundcolor of me to ...

thanks, but that didn't work.

I copied the script into a button. I created a field named "result"

when i clicked on the button, nothing happened.

more assistance would be appreciated.

thanks

homer

ok, I know I'm not there yet. Kind of feel dump, but I'll try again.

let's say I have a button for "start"/"stop"

I have a field I'll call "result"

when I click "start" I want to add 1 to the field "result"

1

wait 1 second

2

wait 1 second

3

and so forth.

I want this to go on forever, until ...

thanks much

I'll give this a try. Just seeing some code gives me a hint of what I need to do.

regards,

homer

hello

I will try to explain:

field 1 = units
field 2 = duration
field 3 = increments
field 4 = results

button1

and something like:

on mouseUp
get field 1
get field 2
put (field1/field2)*field3 into field 3
repeat until someother mouseUp thing
end mouseUp

ok, i know it's not correct, here's the ...
