I'm trying to convert from old hyperCard stacks to Rev. stacks.
I think I may be able to improve the scripts but I've been having
problems.
I have a list of plant names that I want to click on and go to a card
with that name.
I have tried this script:
on mousedown
local x, xxx
--lock screen
--Use this script to capture a line of text in a variable
--field must be LOCKED
set the listBehavior of field "flora-cn" to true
set the visible of field 1 to true
set the locktext of me to true
put clickLine() into x
put the selectedtext of line x of bkgnd field "Flora-CN" of group id
2589 of card id 3064 of stack "/Users/ecawley/Documents/River-
main.rev" into xxx
set the locktext of me to true
set the visible of field 1 to false
unlock screen
--text is in xxx now and you may do anything you wish with it
push card
go to card xxx
end mousedown
I think that the problem is in the format of clickLine() and the
selectedText.
Is this the best approach?
