Accessing Substack Data Files

I'm building, or should I say rebuilding, a stackfile that contains many substacks. To get the stackfile I'll use the standard Answer/Ask file commands and then use go invisible or go to to get at the data in the substacks. No problem. But this got me to wondering. If I wanted to use the Answer/A

Re: Counting the number of checkboxes...

Peter, You suggestion not only is faster but also works better than using controls in the repeat script. I found that using controls does not work with more than 16 checkboxes. In my sample stack, the script using control works but there are only four checkboxes. Thanks! Charles Szasz csz.

Re: Counting the number of checkboxes...

You could save a few tick by using "the n umber of buttons" instead of "the number of controls" and changing reference to "control x" to "button x". Rather than set the behavior on 28 buttons, and assuming the cards are in the same stack, just put the mouseUp handler into the stack script. Pete l

Re: Counting the number of checkboxes...

Paul, Your script perfectly! Thanks so much! I was working on a repeat loop but you saved me a great deal of time. And I had to have this before tomorrow! Thanks again! Dave, thanks for taking time to offer a scripting solution. I tried Paul’s script before trying yours. I will take a look

Re: Counting the number of checkboxes...

Charles, Here's another option. My immediate thought was that this could be a use for an "after mouseUp" handler in a behaviour button, so I tried this… ## Checkbox Behaviour Button Script ## This just loops through the controls on two cards and counts any highlighted checkbox after mouseUp

Re: Counting the number of checkboxes...

Hi Charles If it was me I would be thinking of including something like a 'recordCheck' handler in the stack's script that would be called by the mouseUp handler of each checkbox button (or even better set the behaviour of each checkbox button to the script of a button - but that is a bit more adv

You can set the filename of a player object to a URL. This works with my videos on Vimeo at least, so I'm thinking there may be a way to get a URL from YouTube that will work as well. But so far (after 5 minutes) I haven't succeeded. Phil Davis On 4/20/14, 12:06 AM, la...@significantplanet.o
