referring to object names stored in variables

Fascinating.


These two scripts do very different things. Colin, have you known about this since HC days?



on mouseup
  put the selectedLine into temp
  do "put X after" && temp
end mouseup


on mouseup
  put "X" after the selectedLine
end mouseup


And which is the selectedLine in a locked field that has no selection? Is this implied as the clickLine? Never knew that...

That wasn't what I had referred to. Lock the text of your field, and try this 
script:

on mouseup
   put "bla" after the selectedline
end mouseup


then click on line 1. Where does the text appear?
