separate yes, in one button no

[robm80]

In button "try" I put this script:
on mouseUp
create card "mies"
set the backgroundcolor of card "mies" to red
copy field "inhoud" to card "mies"
copy group "velden" to card "mies"
copy button "terug" to card "mies"
end mouseUp
It completes line 1 and 2, but no more

In button copy I put the rest of this scipt"
on mouseUp
copy group "velden" to card "mies"
copy button "terug" to card "mies"
copy field "inhoud" to card "mies"
end mouseUp

so in one button NO in 2 buttons YES

WHY NOT IN 1 BUTTON ? What's wrong???

Try specifying what card the objects to be copied are on, like this :

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
create card "mies"
set the backgroundcolor of card "mies" to red
copy field "inhoud" of cd "yourcardhere" to card "mies"
copy group "velden" of cd "yourcardhere" to card "mies"
copy button "terug" of cd "yourcardhere" to card "mies"
end mouseUp

That might help!

Edit:

Explanation: when you "create card" you go directly to the card you just created, so when you try to copy the objects you need to specify what card they are on.
check out create card and backgroundBehavior in the dictionary

Sefro,

I translated your example as:
on mouseUp
create card "mies"
set the backgroundcolor of card "mies" to red
copy field "inhoud" of cd "PK" to card "mies"
copy group "velden" of cd "PK" to card "mies"
copy button "terug" of cd "PK" to card "mies"
end mouseUp

but very sorry: it does not work !
Like with me: a red card "MIES" is created, but empty...

Next question:
How can I add a line to the content of field "inhoud" of card "PK" BY SCRIPT

How can I add a line to the content of field "inhoud" of card "PK" BY SCRIPT

This is my script and it is OK

Hi robm80,

I also have 6.5, but here it does not work ???

Are you saying the stack I posted is not working?
The whole thing or just part?
Is there an error message?

Need more than "doesn't work" as using your exact script works fine here.
You will need more post (10 I think) before you can post a stack so if you have a dropbox account post your stack there.

Up till now, my first step in LC was succesfull, but now I meet an abnormality I cannot understand:
When I create a new card by: create card or create card "foo" or what else , I get a black card looking like this:

smal part of the card

WHY: I have LC 6.5.0

[robm80]

Forget last posting: solution is: set backgroundcolor of this card to white.

But I have a real problem:
I have created a card called "foo"
A line in the scrolling list field "mycontent" is also "foo" and this line is selected!
In the messagebox I write "go to card "foo" and card "foo" is present.
Now I write in the messagebox: go to card (selectedtext of field "mycontent") and the answer is "no such card".
And this while in another try it worked perfectly.
Is there anyone who can explain this to me?

Thanks
Rob
