ASK dialog box

[Lyn Teyla]

Hi Randy,

As Klaus mentioned, when the 'Cancel' button is pressed, not only is "it" set to empty, but "the result" is also set to "Cancel".

If the user leaves the dialog blank by pressed 'OK', then both "it" and "the result" are set to empty.

-----

on mouseUp
   ask "Are you a bunny?"
   if the result is "Cancel" then...
   ...
end mouseUp

-----

Lyn
