Re: Problem with Edit/Preference Menu Item
Hi Again, I've been at this at least 7 hours now and I just can't think of anything else to try. There really isn't much that can go wrong script wise. As far as I can tell this just plain doesn't work! If the docs told you a little more it might be possible to try to track the problem down but as it is Guess I'll just have to ship this App with a disabled Preferences Item in the Application Menu and an Enabled Preferences Item in the Edit menu, I hate doing it, but I don't have any other choice.

Re: Problem with Edit/Preference Menu Item
Hi, Tried it but it made no difference, the other "special" menu items work ok, one of the differences is that (according to the docs) with the Edit/Preferences item, it checks for the item starting "Preferences", I am wondering if it's comparing incorrectly. I cut and pasted the "Preferences" text from one that was made by the menu builder. I get the same problem in the standalone too if that's any help. All the Best Dave Sometimes you need to force a menu update.

Try: lock menus -- do menu swap stuff unlock menus According to Scott Raney, menu updating is *very* slow on Macs and the engine doesn't go out of its way to change the visual appearance unless absolutely necessary. If your script is resetting menu contents, the engine may not realize it. Locking/unlocking menus forces it to pay attention. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | [EMAIL PROTECTED] HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Problem with Edit/Preference Menu Item
Hi All, I have a Stack that creates a Menu Bar and then Populates the Buttons and Items within the Buttons. This works fine except that he preferences menu item doesn't seem to be being moved to the App Menu correctly. When I look at the menubar, the edit menu still has the "Preferences..." text and a separator as the last two items and if I select it, it works fine. There is a "Preferences" Item in the Application Menu but it's disabled. I've had something like this before using the Menu Builder Tool and I eventually resolved it by recreating the Edit Menu.
