Hi,
As far as I know (I have asked this question on this list before) and
according to the documentation, "me" always refers to the object that
the script is running in.
Are you suggesting I change "me" to "long name of x" just to see if
it makes a difference or in general?
If you mean in general, then this will mean that a lot of the
reusability of code that is so good in RunRev will vanish and make
developing Apps MUCH slower. In fact if I have to do this then I
would seriously consider not using RunRev anymore.
I have lots of fields that all refer to "me", to change them now
would take forever and result in a lot of hand-tweaking every time I
want to re-use a Group.
Here is the problem again, described in simpler terms:
1 StackMain:Card1:ObjectA:mouseUp - Calls Function
StackUtil:PutMessage("MessageX")
2 StackUtil:PutMessage - Calls Handler
StackMain:Card2:ObjectX:MessageX (via send)
3 StackMain:Card2:ObjectX:MessageX - Put "MessageX" into me and then
Calls Function StackUtil:PutMessage("MessageY")
4 StackUtil:PutMessage - Calls Handler
StackMain:Card2:ObjectY:MessageY (via send)
5 StackMain:Card2:ObjectY:MessageY - Put "MessageY" into me
In this case the "put" statement at step 5 does NOT put "MessageY"
into StackMain:Card2:ObjectY (the object is unchanged), but the
"put" at step 3 works ok.
However, this does work:
1 StackMain:Card2:ObjectX:mouseUp - Calls Function
StackUtil:PutMessage("MessageY")
2 StackUtil:PutMessage - Calls Handler
StackMain:Card2:ObjectY:MessageY (via send)
3 StackMain:Card2:ObjectY:MessageY - Put "MessageY" into me
What could be going wrong here? Is it that I am mixing functions and
handlers?
How can I test to see if the context is the problem?
Any ideas on how to get this working would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot
All the Best

Is it a context problem?
It might be worth trying to replace
put "MessageY" into me
with
put "MessageY" into <long name of control>
I've always thought that 'me' always referred to the control whose
script it appears in, but that's an assumption, not necessarily a
fact...

Hi,
function ListenForMessages theMessageID,theHanlderLocation
Adds to an Array (stored in a GlobalProperty of StackUtil) as so:
MessageArray[theMessageID] = theHanlderLocation
If theMessageID is already in the Array and the Location is not
already in the data part of the array, then it is appended, so the
array looks like this:
Key Data
"MessageX" ObjectX of Card 2 of Stack "StackMain",ObjectY
of Card 2 of Stack ""StackMain"
and is called like so:
ListenForMessages("MessageX",the long name of me)
function PutMessage theMessageID
Looks up theMessageID in the Array built in ListenForMessages and
calls (via a "send" statement) the handler with the name
theMessageID at the location(s) specified in the data part of the
array.
As I said the Message handling functions seem to work fine in
general, but not when PutMessage() is called from within a message
handler OR when called from a different card that the one that
called the initial message. Not sure which!
Thanks a lot
All the Best
