Field calculations

Vaughn.


I think you are doing what many new users try to do. That is, to engage the program right out of the box, and simply become LC programmers. There is no other environment where such an achievement is even remotely possible, but you are stumbling over two things:


1- That LC seems so simple you are lulled into thinking you can become proficient immediately.
2- That LC is so accessible and flexible you need not concern yourself with its very formal syntax and structure.


But if you persevere for just a little while longer, I will wager you will soon write back something like:


"Oh, I get it now"


Bet you...

Hi Vaughn,

If you have multiple handlers with equal names in a script, only the 
first handler will run. That mus be why your own handler didn't work.

Also, if you have a mouseUp handler in a button and a mouseUp handler at 
card level, you need a pass mouseUp command in the button to make the 
script at card level run:

on mouseUp
   beep
   pass moueUp --> go to cd level
end moueUp

You'll read all about it in my book very soon :-)
