Clearing local variables

[dunbarx at aol.com]

If I understand what you are asking, step through this:



on mouseUp
   put "tAllCats,tCatsTree,tRootCats,aAllCatsArray,aCatsByParent,aCatsByChild,tAllChildren" into tLocalVars
   repeat for each item x in tLocalVars
      do "put random(999) into" && x 
   end repeat


   breakpoint


    repeat for each item x in tLocalVars
      do "put empty into" && x 
   end repeat
end mouseUp


The first part loads, the second part empties.

you  don't want to mess with the index variable in a repeat loop

repeat for each item x in tLocalVars
      put empty into item x of tLocalVars
   end repeat

in addition you may have to do the deleting backwards

not tested... some ideas
