Not sure if this is relevant, but putting "Math" into testname is going to have no effect on setting a property of the stack called testname. There will be a variable containing "Math" and that is all.
Further, you have to create the array as a variable first: put "score" into testname[student] set the testname of this stack to testname -- probably a bad idea to have a variable and a property named the same thing The point here is that you cannot update properties directly. You have to put a property into a variable: put the testname of this stack into myTestname then update the variable: put "Math" into mytestname["student"] then set the property: set the testname of this stack to myTestName Bob On Apr 27, 2011, at 9:27 AM, Glen Bojsza wrote: > Hello, > > Hopefully someone is still looking at the list while the conference is going > on... > > I want to create a customkey from a variable. > > on mouseup > put "Math" into testname > set the testname[student] of this stack to score > end mouseup > > this doesn't create the customkey or properties for me but if I don't use a > variable it will work? > > on mouseup > set the Math[student] of this stack to score > end mouseup > > I really would like to use a variable so I can automatically create the > customkeys on the fly. > > Any suggestions? > > regards, > > Glen > _______________________________________________ > use-livecode mailing list > use-livecode@lists.runrev.com > Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription > preferences: > http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
