Accessing handler on another card in stack

[bruceBUSXpd]

Hi Guys,

I have the following code on one card, it works great :

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
trueBtnOne
end mouseUp

on trueBtnOne
   hide button Check2T
   hide button Check2F
   ...
end trueBtnOne

BUT, If I separate them onto two cards, it throws an error :

Card 1.

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
trueBtnOne
end mouseUp

Card 2.

Code: Select all

on trueBtnOne
   hide button Check2T
   hide button Check2F
   ...
end trueBtnOne

I get the following error :

(Handler: Can't find handler) near trueBtnOne

It is the same code, just separated over two cards, what have I missed here... I've gone through the forum looking for answers, but I am still stumped...
Help appreciated!

Cheers,
Bruce

Bruce...

Put the 'trueBtnOne' handler into the stack script... that will help..
Now, read about the message path starting p.127 in the 'User Guide'.

Hi Bruce,

here a good read about the Livecode "message path":

Very efficient if used correctly!

Ah, and welcome to the forum!
