The method that you used will erase all of the information in the stack script though. Remeber you have to include function, or handler headings. If you want to keep information in the stack script try. Put ... after last char of stack script or Put "..." after line ? of stack script I have no idea what you are trying to do so that is all I can offer. If you have more questions please wire me.

You have to use the "set" command to change scripts. The easiest way to do this is to build your script in a variable, then set the script to that variable. Something like: put "on openStack" & return & "beep" & return & "end openStack" into newScript set the script of this stack to newScript If you need to modify an existing script, put it into a variable, then mess with it, then set it back. Like: put the script of this stack into oldScript put allMyNewGarbage after oldScript set the script of this stack to oldScript <-> Bruce Carter, Courseware Development Coordinator bcarter@claven.idbsu.edu Boise State University, Boise, ID 83725 duscarte@idbsu.bitnet (This message contains personal opinions only) (208)385-1250@phone

Scripts are object properties, not containers, so you need to say set script of this stack to whatever or set script of this stack to script of this stack & return & whatever * Origin: The Clone: Macintosh Things - 301-946-8677 (1:109/421.911)

But the script of an object is a property, not a container, so you need to set the property to a value rather than putting text into it. For example: set the script of card button "Foo" to ~ "on mouseUp" & return ~ & "go card" && it & return ~ & "end mouseUp" (where the ~ character stands for option-return). To add to an existing script, you read the script into a variable, add the new text to that variable, then set the script to the changed variable: put the script of this stack into scratchScript put "on goThere" & return & "go card" && it & return ~ & "end goThere" after scratchScript set the script of this stack to scratchScript You can also use the offset command to do quite a few sophisticated things to existing scripts - searching and replacing, for instance. The trick is, again, to pull the script into a variable, make your changes to the variable, then set the script to the changed variable. -- ========= jeanne a. e. devoto ======================================== jdevoto@apple.com | You may not distribute this article under a jdevoto@well.sf.ca.us | compilation copyright without my permission. ______________________________________________________________________ Apple Computer and I are not authorized | CI$: 72411,165 to speak for each other. |
