Yeah just going through the objects without stopping would make more sense I think, and going back up through the objects as well. That represents the whole hierarchy thing better imho. Otherwise I begin to think, "Wha? He's calling a function in the second group? Did I miss something??" Bob

Yikes! At first I thought you were quoting somebody else; the "from" at the start of the line forced an email quote. LoveCode is the code of conduct for those under commandments of love or overwhelmed by love (or both). I intended to write LiveCode, of course. I will fix this soon. Dar O

Hi, Stephen! I hope the visual explanations work out well. Some people like the ball rolling down the message path and others find the illustration baffling. As people have come to recognize, Dar thinks weird. I accept the assessment. Dar On May 16, 2012, at 10:00 AM, stephen barncard w

I have dusted off and cleaned up the little booklet stack that works as a primer on using the send command. I call that use, message mechanics. This primer consists of over 80 pages. It starts from the very beginning but takes you to making message machinery with send. What you might do with
