If you don't want to enter mouseup handlers all over the UI, the usual means is to trap for the target in the card script or stack script.
is there a way to get the immediate "parent" group of a group object?
In case like this I have a number of "portal-link-label" as the subgroups are all made from a template.
but the group name itself is unique
group "home-read"
so the long name of the target is:
field "portal-link-label" of group "home_read" of group "portal-links" of card "home" of stack "/Users/Brahmanathaswami/Documents/App-Development/SivaSivaAppWorking/_SivaSource/source/modules/home/home.livecode"
So then you have to so some parsing magic to determine which is the send level group.. from this long string. Is there an easier way?
It would be sweet if we could do something like
get the parent group of the target
where "parent" was the name of the group the object was in.
