Using groups as custom dialogs: a solution for Mac, PC and iOS

[Dick Kriesel]

As an example, suppose your function takes a default color. 

on mouseUp
  local tString = "green"
  set the backcolor of grc "test" to value("altAnswerColor(tString)",long id of stack "altAnswerColor")
  -- or equivalently:
  set the backcolor of grc "test" to value("altAnswerColor(" & quote & "green" & quote & )",long id of stack "altAnswerColor")
end color1

Does that answer your question, Chipp?
