Hi Yves
I did the following which I think gives you the behaviour you want:
Create a stack with a scrolling field and a button.
Lock the text of the field so that it can respond to mouse clicks.
Put this in the script of the field (called Display)
global gEndFlag
on mouseup
put true into gEndFlag
end mouseup
and put this in the script of the button
global gEndFlag
on mouseUp
put false into gEndFlag
randomText
end mouseUp
command randomText
if gEndFlag is False
then
-- your line of text
put any line of the weekdaynames into theText
put theText&cr after fld "display"
send randomText to me in 1 sec -- timing can be varied
end if
end randomText
send in time effectively is your repeat
and allows other processes to continue
namely the ability to check when you have clicked in the field
which I don't think the repeat loop will allow since it is still running
when you click in the field.
