I've had a play around with this, but could do with some assistance. I think the
answer is quite simple.
I've got a 12 card stack with a background. The background contains a field with the
'Shared Text' property unchecked. This means that when I run my script (which repeats
from 1 to 12 and sets the contents of the relevant field to that number) it works fine.
I've got another script which is meant to set the script of each field. I read in a
separate field which contains the script and replace a known variable with the number
of the card.
This is then meant to set the script of each field to something like
on mouseup
go cd 3 of wd "Day"
end mouseup
where the number is replaced by the number of the card.
The problem is that unlike the "Shared Text" property the script for each field reads
on mouseup
go cd 12 of wd "Day"
end mouseup
ie its setting the script of each field to the last script in the loop.
This is a simplified explanation of a larger project. I guess I could create
'foreground' fields for each card but when I do that (due to the large number of
fields on a card) the 'set up script' loop takes an age.
So, is there anyway to define different scripts to background fields ? Or is the whole
point that you can't or shouldn't ?
