I'm the menu buttons guy -- whose problem remains unresolved. The menuhistory solves one problem, but not another.
I decided to develop a workaround in which a button pops up a field that looks line a pulldown menu. The follwing script WORKS to hilite lines in a mouseover: on mouseWithin put the mouseloc into theXY put item 1 of theXY into theXX put item 2 of theXY into theyy put item 2 of the topleft of me into theTopLeftY put trunc(((theYY - theTopLeftY)/18) + 0.5) into theLineNumber select line theLineNumber of me wait 5 milliseconds end mouseWithin The 18 has to do with the line heights. I've not cleaned this up; it's fist try. But, so far it works. My plan is to solve my problem using only one field (identified by object id), and to size and locate that field depending upon what the choices are and where the originating button object is on the card. (Don't ask what the theXX does; it look like a wasted line of code.)
