Hello,

I got a option menu and when i click on certain choice in the option menu i want a certain value to be display
in a field.

PS: Can i know what is the livecode variable of option 1 value?

Can i know what i should type in the option menu to allow this function to work?

Thanks!

Have you looked at the menuPick message? That's what is triggered when someone picks an item from a menu.

Code: Select all

on menuPick pChosenItem -- in a pulldown menu
  put pChosenItem into field 1
end menuPick

Or if you want to respond to the selected menu item rather than simply put it into a field, something like this might help:

Code: Select all

on menuPick pChosenItem -- in a pulldown menu
  switch pChosenItem
    case "Jump"
      put "How high?" into field 1

and so on. Complete the switch/case structure as required, of course.
