timer/counter handlers at stack level

[homer]

ok,

I have made progress.

can I put all my custom handlers in the stack script?

i thought i had to include custom handlers in the object i was using it in?

like

"button777"

on mouseUp
myHandler007
end mouse

on myHandler007
put "9" into fld "888"
end myHandler007

(end of button script)

so, if I put the "myHandler777" in the stack script, I can use it in any object script on any card? at any time?

if that's the case, why would anyone put a custom handler anywhere else?

thanks in advance

Hi Homer,

You put handlers higher up the message path of different objects send the same message and should execute the same script when the message is issued.

You put handlers into the object scripts if different objects send the same message and should execute different scripts when the message is issues.

Hi Homer,

I strongly advise to take a very deep look at all the stacks from the online scripting conference at RunRev:
http://downloads.runrev.com/section/scr ... rences.php
Especially the "Message Hierarchy" stack in your case.

And please spread the word

These are invaluable resources for novice and experienced developers.
