Hi all,
Happy New Year.
After a long holiday I'm back and want to control the IDE a bit.
When I am editing the script in a button,
I want to click on another button and have the script editor automatically change to the script for the button I just clicked.
Is there a way to do this?

Hi,
Not sure how you will integrate this into your scripts, but would placing this into each button script do?
Code: Select all
on mouseUp
edit the script of me
end mouseUp
or
on mouseUp
edit the script of me
breakpoint
beep 3 -- or your other stuff
end mouseUp

not without some ugly hacks deep in the Rev IDE scripts
and that is asking for trouble

OK thanks for the help.
I'm over it now.
Would have been nice.

If you hold down the option and command keys when you click the button, its script will open. Use control - alt on Windows.

He actually wants a behavior like the (unlocked) property palette for the script editor:
Click another object and the currently open script window changes dynamcially
to display the script of the newly selected object.
At least that is how I understood the initial posting

Ah. Okay. Well you're right Klaus, that would be a big job. I've always been happy with just getting a new tabbed script, so I guess we adjust.
