I need to know who sent a message

[ale870]

Hello,

in a event I can use "me" to get a reference to the script owner. Is there a keyword to know who raised the message?
For example:

BUTTON_1:

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
  send "go" to button "BUTTON_2"
end mouseUp

BUTTON_2:

Code: Select all

on go
  answer "This message was arised by..." && sender
end go

In this example, "sender" is not a keyword, but please take only the concept. In BUTTON_2, how can I get the name of the message sender (in the example it it BUTTON_1).

Thank you!

You can get at it via the executionContexts property; but the more important question is: why do you want to know? You can always pass more information to the second handlker in the form of a parameter. Also make sure to read this article by Richard Gaskin on the message path and how this chain of command allows you to better structure your application.

HTH,

Jan Schenkel.
