Field Losing Focus?

[Ken Ray]

Following on Rob's coattails, here's an example:

-- Field 1 Script
on mouseUp
  put word 2 of the selectedChunk into the selChar of me
end mouseUp

-- Button Script
on mouseUp
  put the hilitedText of field 2 after char (the selChar of fld 1) of fld 1
end mouseUp

Hope this helps,
