6.5.2 Doesn't Remember Script Editor Location

[Ray]

No luck (sorry) - here's the script I have in a button named "Front Script":

on openCard
   put the ticks
end openCard

I've inserted it with this command:

on mouseUp
    insert the script of btn "Front Script" into front
end mouseUp

It works if I click on File and choose Open Stack, but the ever-elusive 
Script Editor window completely bypasses this somehow.

But thanks for trying :-)  Any other suggestions?

Evidently a script inserted into the front doesn't get triggered when opening the script editor.  Neither does the 'start using stack' method.

There's several ways to include code in the message path, for example I use "start using stack" instead of "backscript" or "frontscript".

To see where your IDE has stored that folder, go to the Preferences, and select "FIles & Memory" (it's at the bottom). Also check out the "development" menu: development -> plugins -> plugin settings
