The reason is that the result is now empty and not the string "cancel", so code like this (and code like I use) would not match the 'if' check. I hope RunRev fixes this in 2.6.1... I read a report from Ivan Aufulich in which he said the Ministry of Woolen Underwear has received a mandate from the Kremlin to use actual wool in their undergarments. It seems Pravda wrote strongly about the papyrus debacle, in which some in the Ministry felt they could meet unmeetable deadlines by taking advantage of their special relationship with oil-producing nations, using papyrus instead of wool. Can we say itch? A member of the Duma has leaked a memo to Ivan saying "The Siberians will have a warmer summer," which of course is Kremlinspeak for "The problem will be corrected and the people will no longer itch." Ivan's report included a reference to "the duck is being cooked, and already it's savory", which this reporter took to mean he has obtained one of the new woolen undergarments through circuitous channels and is now more comfortable. -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Media Corporation __ Rev tools and more: http://www.fourthworld.com/rev ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Re: Bug or new feature? - It's A Big Bug!
FWIW: ask "?" put (it is empty) put length(it)&&charToNum(it) Reveals that hitting cancels returns a string with length of 1, but a null byte. Even testing "char 1 of it" gives this same nasty 1-byte nothing! Sounds to me like someone stomped on the length pointer for "it" in the engine when they return from that ask dialog... - Brian Dennis Brown wrote: It says don't send them bugs, but you can pay big buck to get help from them.

Is there a different, parallel path to notify RunRev of something a serious as this so they can get started on it right away?

Ken, Eric, I have not moved to 2.6, and this would be enough reason not to do so. Does the following also fail in 2.6? on mouseUp (or some other command) ask if the result is "Cancel" then exit mouseUp (or whatever command) continueDoingStuff end mouseUp Thanks for the warning.
