Empty field button won't work

[paulgabel]

I have a button on a card that simply says (in script):

Code: Select all

put empty into fld "Records"

The field Records is on the card. But when I click on the button I get the ubiquitous No Such Object error. It's mystifying because the object is right there and the Inspector clearly says that its name is Records and that it's a field not a group. Also, when I copy the script from the editor and paste it into the message box, it works perfectly. Using "" doesn't make any difference. What could I be missing?

Paul,

What is the stack mode?

Hi Mark:

The mode = 1. But the strangest thing happened — last night just before I turned my computer off I could not put empty into the field, but this morning I clicked on the same button and it immediately emptied the field. Revolution is full of mysteries (or maybe it's just me). Thanks for your reply.

Now, it's back not working again.

Hi Paul,

Right now I don't have much time, but if you send me your stack, I'll be happy to look into it at the end of the week. You'll find my e-mail address in my profile.

Best,

Mark

I remember in some of the video tutorials the guy with the dreamy Scottish voice sometimes having to close a window and reopen it before the command would 'take'. I can't remember which vid though.

This could once again be an incarnation of the same bug where objects get assigned the same ID ?

Maybe the field "records" accidently is sharing the same ID as an other object...
