Cloning across stacks

This sort of stuff is dead easy:
-
-
Code: Select all
on mouseUp
clone me
set the left of the last img to the right of img "Ewe"
set the top of the last img to the bottom of img "Ewe"
end mouseUp
BUT, being a spoilt child I am not satisfied with that and want things so that when I click on the sheep
it clones onto another stack . . .
BUT . . . Ooooer:

This MUST be doable as one can do a double-click on an object on the revTools stack to clone
that object across onto one's own stack.
This DOESN'T:
Code: Select all
on mouseUp
palette "Dolly the Sheep 2"
wait 5 secs
copy me
paste into topStack()
end mouseUp
and nor does this:
Code: Select all
on mouseUp
palette "Dolly the Sheep 2"
wait 5 secs
copy me
paste
end mouseUp
BUT: maybe I'm doing 'things' the wrong way round.
Err . . . NO . . . obviously not:
Code: Select all
on mouseUp
copy me
palette "Dolly the Sheep 2"
wait 5 secs
paste
wait 5 secs
topLevel "Dolly the Sheep 2"
end mouseUp

What's wrong with this one-liner:
Code: Select all
on mouseup
copy me to stack "the other one"
end mouseup
?

What's wrong with this one-liner:
Nothing, IF one already knows the name of the target stack.
HOWEVER, I have no urge to hard code the name of the target stack into the scripts of objects
on my starter stack.

OK: Gotcha:
Code: Select all
on mouseUp
palette "Dolly the Sheep 2"
put the short name of the topStack into TPSTK
topLevel "Dolly the Sheep 2"
copy me to stack TPSTK
end mouseUp

Thank you very much, Klaus.

My 'oversight', if that's the right word for it, was that I thought a
copy command always had to be followed by a
paste command.
Code: Select all
on mouseUp
palette "Dolly the Sheep 2"
put the short name of the topStack into TPSTK
topLevel "Dolly the Sheep 2"
copy me to stack TPSTK
end mouseUp
That odd little dance where the originating stack is temporarily palettised is so that one can
copy the object to the target stack when one does not know its name: otherwise one ends
up doing what I was doing at the start of this thread and simply duplicating on the originating
stack.

Maybe this will work for you, since a "mouseenter" is also sent if that stack is currently not the topstack.
"t2" is the topstack, button script in stack "t1":
Code: Select all
on mouseEnter
put the topstack
end mouseEnter

My next concern is how to get a 'clone' script into the cardScript so that I don't have replicate that script across 100 different objects.
But, as I am busy cooking a 3 course supper downstairs, my wife having had a fun-packed day of tedious committee meetings and admin. guff, she will come home with an appetite that will be of homeric proportions, things will have to wait a bit.

Well, Whacky-Doo: a 2 minute job:
-

In the cardScript:
Code: Select all
on mouseUp
put the target into TARGE
palette "Target Practice"
put the short name of the topStack into TPSTK
topLevel "Target Practice"
copy TARGE to stack TPSTK
end mouseUp

The next Q is whether things will work if the originating stack is ALWAYS a
palette:
-
-
Super . . .
Code: Select all
on mouseUp
put the target into TARGE
--palette "Target Practice"
put the short name of the topStack into TPSTK
--topLevel "Target Practice"
copy TARGE to stack TPSTK
end mouseUp

My reason for this is that I should like to make a 'super palette' containing a large number of SVG images
for use inwith LC/OXT for wireframe prototyping . .
I am trying to lay my sweaty paws on ALL the SVGs in
LibreOffice Draw to import them into a palette:
as they are Open Source they should be up for grabs, but I am far too lazy to export each one individually from an OO Draw document.
Or, for that matter, from
Pencil.

Does anyone have any pointers?
