IDE get's "stuck"

[Eric Chatonet]

Hi Jon again,

As usual Klaus is right :-)
But another thing might interest you...
When you place many if/end if statements, the engine has to explore  
all of them even though it's not necessary.
So you might prefer something like:

on menuPick s
if s = "ccw" then
   get angle of image "image"
   add 90 to it
   set angle of image "image" to it
ELSE if s = "cw" then
   subtract 90 from it
   set angle of image "image" to it
ELSE if s = "flip" then
   flip image "image" vertical
ELSE if s = "mirror" then
   flip image "image" horizontal
ELSE
   answer "There is an error I don't understand!"
end if
choose browse tool
end menuPick

Better, have a look at the switch structure in the docs, much more  
convenient to trap a menuPick message :-)

Best regards from Paris,

Eric Chatonet.
