What do I need to do to be able to activate the code within a field that has a graphic covering the field?
Attached a very simple stack to better describe the challenge.
Thanks,
David

Jean-Marc,
Sorry to bother you on something so simple,
but I had beat my for a couple hours and was not making any headway.
Thank goodness for this forum!
Disabling the graphic took care of it.
Thanks so much,
David

Hi David
Sorry to bother you on something so simple,
I hope it is not too simple
You also may use loop to know which field is under the mouseloc.
Something like that:
graphic script
Code: Select all
on mouseup
get getMyControlML()
send "mouseup" to fld it
end mouseup
card script
Code: Select all
on mouseup
put the short name of the target into tNameTarget
if "fMyField" is in the short name of the target then
get getMyFldML()
put fld it into fld "Display"
end if
end mouseup
function getMyFldML
repeat with i = 1 to 3
put "fMyField" & i into tFld
if the mouseloc is within the rect of fld tFld then
return tFld
exît repeat
end if
end repeat
end getMyFldML

Jean-Marc's script works but now we have controlAtLoc() which is easier:
put controlAtLoc(the mouseloc)

Hi Jacqueline,
Two times i forget controlAtLoc.
In this case it doesn't work because there is a grc on top
Lucky day for me with 825 as result on Klondike

Yes, you're right. I forgot about the stacked controls, so we both have memory problems.
It's nice to hear my old Klondike stack is still in use and is working after all the engine revisions. I wrote it in MetaCard! The LC team has done a great job with backward compatibility.
