doMenu

[Richmond Mathewson]

Thanks Tore,

This is alright if one knows what the actual handler sparked by the menu 
item is.

on mouseUp
    set the style of the templateGraphic to polygon
    create graphic "zzz"
    set the points of grc "zzz" to fld "PTZ"
end mouseUp

Richmond.

> I cannot answer your question about the sending of doMenu to items in a hierarchy, but this seems to me to be a situation where you would be better off placing the actual handler for what you would like to do in the stack script. Then all it takes is a call to this handler, be it from the menu item or from somewhere else. This way you do not need to send a doMenu command at all. This is how I teach my students to structure their code.
