Hi Arthurik,

There are several ways to do this. If you create a plug-in, probably it is a good idea to start your script with setting the defaultStack. After that, you can create cards etc. I'm assuming that your plug-in opens as a palette from the plug-ins menu.

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
  set the defaultStack to the topstack
  create card
  set the script of it to "on mouseUp" & cr & "beep" & cr & "end mouseUp"
end mouseUp

This script creates a card that beeps when you click on it.

Now assume that you have a button "Template" in your plug-in:

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
  put the script of btn "Template" into myScript
  set the defaultStack to the topstack
  create card
  set the script of it to myScript
end mouseUp

There are many possibilities. If you give a little more information, we can find a better solution.

Kind regards,

Mark

Hello Mark,

thats it. Works great, thank you.
On this way I can read out a xml or a text file and write more code into the new Stack or Card.
