Hi again,
any thoughts about this little conundrum:
Code: Select all
on mouseUp
answer the number of lines in the selectedObject
answer the selectedObject
end mouseUp
if 3 fields are selected the first dialog says "1" but the second dialog shows each one on a new line (as indicated in the documentation)??

Hi Jim,
No problem with the function selectedobject but i think it return empty because
you make it empty when you set the tool to browse to send a mouseup.
If you place an handler in the card script and you call it by the message box
the handler work

Hi Jim,
I have no idea why this does not work, but I just tested a bit and foud this workaround (two buttons selected):
...
put the selectedobjects into tSelObj
put the num of lines OF the selectedobjects
## Got 0!!???
answer the num of lines of tSelObj
## I got "2"
...
Best

The reason I need the script to be in a button is because I'm making a plugin. At the moment it works fine for single objects but I need it to cycle through ALL the selected objects.
I had the hope that this would work:
Code: Select all
on mouseUp
repeat with x=1 to the number of lines in the selectedObject
set the text of (line x of the selectedObject) to fld "Replacement"
end repeat
end mouseUp
But because the lines of the selected object are not recognised it doesn't work?

Hi Klaus,
That makes a lot of sense - I'll try it out.
Thanks
