Re: Activating procedures with multiple buttons

Hi, Magice,

I only used the if statement because it's a function I'm more used to (the tasks I've done for LiveCode in the past involved if statements). I'll give those scripts a go with my program once I'm at school again though.

Thanks :)

Re: Activating procedures with multiple buttons

Hi. If your variables are all used within a single script, I would use script local variables instead of globals. Do you know about these? Yes, but I'm a bit confused on their scope. Do they work within just procedures (e.g. on mouseUp... end mouseUp), or entire object/card scripts? My teacher does...

Re: Activating procedures with multiple buttons

Hi, Klaus, I'm not at school right now (which is were my program is on one of the computers), but I'll keep that script in mind, thanks. In fact, I'll definitely focus on making my code more efficient in general, once I get everything working basically at least. I have defined both check_answer1 and...

Re: Activating procedures with multiple buttons

When I first posted, I had nothing set to activate on the mouseUp procedure of the card (at least, nothing that works). Now that I know how to store the name of what I click, I've set mouseUp on the card to this: on mouseUp put the short name of the target into check_answer1 if check_answer1 = "Answ...

Re: Activating procedures with multiple buttons

Hi, Craig,

Thank you very much for the reply. Your post helped me a lot, I can happily say that the buttons now function correctly thanks to that script you showed me, and the outcome of the procedures work perfectly!

Cheers a bunch :D

Activating procedures with multiple buttons

Hello, LiveCode Forums, I'm working on a project for my Computing course, and I've tasked myself to make a simple "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire" type of game. Each card will have four answers to choose like the show. What I'm having trouble finding out is how to trigger procedures when either of th...
