[comp.sys.mac.hypercard] Bringing windows to the front

hallettJ@gemed (Jeff Hallett x4-5163) (04/09/90)

Howdy folks.

I am wondering if it is possible to bring a window to  the front via a
script attached to  a  button in  another  window.  Using the  palette
window isn't a viable alternative due to its appearance.

Any help you can give me is appreciated.

Thanks

your question needs to be more specific, but maybe this will help...

on mouseUp
   goto card id nnnn
end mouseUp

Windows? Do mean using Supercard... As we well know, Hypercard has
no windows...

Maybe I'm misunderstanding the question, but all you have to do is put

  open window "windowName"

into the script of the button.
