Arrays of field controls

[Frank D. Engel, Jr.]

The other way to do it, if you want "nicer" names, is to have a 
separate (invisible) field or a property (of a card or stack) and list 
the field names in it, perhaps one per line.  Now you can do this:

repeat for each line ndx of field "fieldNames"
   put field ndx into array[ndx]
end repeat


This has the advantage of allowing you to more conveniently pick 
something out by name later on:

put array["Name"] & the lineDelimiter & array["Address"] & the 
lineDelimiter & array["City"] & ", " & array["State"] && \
     array["Zip Code"] into labelText

(as an example).


Obviously, you could also restore the array into the fields:

repeat for each line ndx of field "fieldNames"
   put array[ndx] into field ndx
end repeat
