Passing text from field to field Livecode 9

Hello all!

I am baffled on how to do something so easy.

So I have used livecode 6.3 forever -- I just got comfy with it. But, then I hear all the great things that livecode 9 can do, so I rush out and download it.

Now, I feel like a total moron because I cannot pass text at all... the easiest of tasks.

I literally just made a button and two fields to make sure I was not going crazy.

Button Code:

Put the text of field "raw" into field "raw 2"


It does nothing anymore... Please help!!!

This is working as expected here in LC 9.01

Code: Select all

on mouseup
Put the text of field "raw" into field "raw 2"
end mouseup

Hi.

There is nothing syntactically wrong with that line. Are you sure there are no typos in your actual handler?

Just to let you know, I always just:

Code: Select all

put field "raw" into field "raw 2"
