Buttons

[RJStriplin]

Hello, i was not sure where to post this, but i have a question about coding in livecode. Is there away to make a button affect a container on a different card.
for example:
Mouse up
put "Hello" into Container "hi"
end Mouse Up"

Yes, just include the card reference as part of the field object specifier, e.g.:

Code: Select all

put "Hello" into field "hi" of cd "SomeOtherCard"

I thought it might be something like this, but i was unclear how to go about doing it.
Thank you so much for your help.

Happy to be of service.

If you need to you can even get and put data in fields of other stacks:

Code: Select all

put "hello" into field "somefield" of cd 1 of stack "someotherstack"

LiveCode is very flexible.
