Looping over all buttons

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Mark,

That would be:

repeat with x = 1 to the number of buttons of cd y
  put the hilite of btn x into myButtonArray[x]
end repeat

If you want to have the hilites as text, you might want to use a normal variable instead of an array: 

put the hilite of btn x & cr after myButtonList

Make sure to read everything about repeat loops in the LiveCode dictionary!
