Hi,

I would like to hilite or set the opaque property of a button in a group to true when clicked but set it back to false when a user clicks on another button in the group. Any ideas on how to get this done?

im trying to do something like;

repeat with x = 1 to the number of buttons of group "buttons"
if on mouseup
set the opaque of me to true
else
set the opaque of me to false
end if
end repeat

though this syntax is not right it seems

One way to do it is to put in the group script:

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
   repeat with i = 1 to the number of buttons of me
      if the long id of the target is the long id of button i of me then
         set the opaque of button i of me to true
      else
         set the opaque of button i of me to false
      end if
   end repeat
end mouseUp

Sparkout,

Thanks for the reply, I tried this out but it doesn't seem to work. I placed the code in the group script

Hi askari,

works for me!

Make sure the buttons do not have a "mouseup" handler of their own!
If you already added some "mouseup" handlers to your button, just add:

Code: Select all

on mouseup
  ## do your stuff here
  ## ...
  pass mouseup
end mouseup

as the last line of these handlers!
This way the group's script will also get executed!

Best
