Hello everyone...new question of the day for me....I am trying to assign each label of a group of buttons to a random character and am running into issues....I just simply want to randomly pick a letter between A-Z and assign the button that letter. So far I am having some luck but out of the 50 buttons I have in the group, only about 1/2 of those actually get a random character. Not sure why...I am using a repeat loop to assign each button a random letter from a field...maybe someone can help....thanks
Code: Select all
local pLetter
on mouseUp
repeat with x=1 to the number of btns in group "alpha"
put any char of fld "alphabet" into pLetter
set the label of btn x to pLetter
put empty into pLetter
end repeat
end mouseUp

LOL! I did think of that....I repeated the alphabet in the field like 75 times!! Nice one though!

Hi Kenny,
Try specifically referencing the "alpha" group when setting the button names
set the label of btn x of group "alpha" to pLetter
I created a quick test stack that change all buttons as expected
