set the WIDTH of btn "xyz" to 100
set the HEIGHT of btn "xyz" to 80
## or directly set the complete RECT:
## set the RECT of btn "xyz" to 10,10,200,180
set the LOC of btn "xyz" to 500,478
## LOC = abbr. location
...Well, that is exactly what I wrote!? However only for ONE button!ace wrote:Thanks Sir. That's very helpful
But what i mean is, when a button is .clicked, it will automatically populate new buttons and set their location.
Code: Select all
on mouseUp
repeat with x = 1 to 3
create button ("newButton" & x)
set the width of button ("newButton" & x) to 75
set the height of button ("newButton" & x) to 40
put x & 00 into tYloc
set the loc of button ("newButton" & x) to 100,tYloc
end repeat
end mouseUp
