Button scripts

[dunbarx at aol.com]

Hi.
The "target" tells LC which control received a message. If you had a script in the card, something like:
on mouseUp
set the bordercolor of the Target to "orange"
set the showBorder of the target to "true"
--- do somethingend mouseUp
You would not only have quotes in places you ought to, but need only that one handler in your stack.
Note that oftentimes you do not want EVERY button to react that way. There are two ways around that.
1- Trap "mouseUp" in the offending button.2- Set a property of some sort in those buttons, such that (pseudo):
on mouseUp
if the name of the target has some nice property thenset the bordercolor of the Target to "orange"...

Hi ,

Have many buttons that do different operations , each one has the following script :-

Is the script required for each button and is the use of flush correct ?

on mouseUp
set the bordercolor of me to orange
set showBorder of me to true
--- do something
get flushEvents("mouseUp")
end mouseUp



on mouseleave
set showBorder of me to false
get flushEvents("mouseleave")
end mouseleave


Regards
