Re: Answer dialog replacement
Everything works fine with the handler, except for one thing - how could I get the value of the button the user clicks on? I'd ideally like to use this handler just like the answer command works, but I don't know how to pause execution of the script that calls displayMessage. Any ideas on how, or even if, this is possible? Thanks! I'm not sure I understand what the value of the button means but if you want to know which button was clicked that should be returned in it. The problem I have is not with putting the value of the button (sorry, should've just said the name of the button) into it but rather with halting operating of a script until a button in this group is clicked. The script to display some message and get a returned value would look like this: on doStuff displayMessage theMessage,Cancel,OK put it into theChoice end doStuff However, it is empty after execution of displayMessage, because all that displayMessage does is make a group and put it into the middle of the stack for the user to click on it - I need to figure out some way to pause execution of the script so that it actually contains the name of the button clicked. ...hope I'm explaining this well enough, I've barely been able to get my ideas over on e-mail right now, I'm having eternal brain farts right now :-P -- Karl Becker, KB Productions - http://www.karlbecker.com Featuring:New Tricks, Tiger's Eye Pub, and The Fishin' Hole Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/metacard@lists.runrev.com/ Info: http://www.xworlds.com/metacard/mailinglist.htm Please send bug reports to [EMAIL PROTECTED], not this list.

If I'm missing the point send me a stack off the list. -- Karl Becker, KB Productions - http://www.karlbecker.com Featuring:New Tricks, Tiger's Eye Pub, and The Fishin' Hole Andu Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/metacard@lists.runrev.com/ Info: http://www.xworlds.com/metacard/mailinglist.htm Please send bug reports to [EMAIL PROTECTED], not this list.

Everything stops and waits for the response with the answer dialog because it is modal. You may need to use messages instead.

Answer dialog replacement
I'm attempting to replace the answer dialog with a separate handler in my stack. (I'll call it displayMessage) This handler, which I've created and works fine, makes a group that consists of a few graphics, the text the user is prompted with, and whatever choices is passed to it. It moves the group to the middle of the screen The reason for doing this is that a graphic inside the group has a blend ink and plays with the card's visual appearance when it appears. Everything works fine with the handler, except for one thing - how could I get the value of the button the user clicks on? I'd ideally like to use this handler just like the answer command works, but I don't know how to pause execution of the script that calls displayMessage.
