Hi I just recreated you scripts in a stack.
Stephen Barncard is correct the more usual place to put the global statement is outside the handlers at the top of the script. However. Your original card script is incomplete since the 'put' statement needs to be put into a handler. eg global gBgColor on openstack -- or preOpenStack or whatever put 0, 0, 0 into gBgColor end openstack When I made this change the gBgColor reflects changes made in the mousedown script. BTW I know that it works the way you have it but when using colour info like 0,0,0 I would recommend putting it into quotes "0,0,0" HTH On 10 July 2011 07:02, Slava Paperno <sl...@lexiconbridge.com> wrote: > In openCard script of the main stack: > > global gBgColor > put 0, 0, 0 into gBgColor > > > In a button script in a substack: > > on mouseUp > global gBgColor > > answer color with gBgColor --white is selected > put it into gBgColor > > put gBgColor & cr after msg > --255, 255, 255 > end mouseUp > > In the Variables panel below script editor (after it is refreshed), > gBgColor > is shown to be 0, 0, 0. > > In the Message box: > > put gBgColor > --0, 0, 0 > > > In other words, the change to a global variable that is made in a substack > is not available to the global variable of the same name in a script in the > main stack. > > Just last week I carefully followed the discussion of the use of global > variables (and even participated a little by quoting the User Guide on the > availability of globals to all substacks), but now I see the same problem > that was reported by the original poster. > > Is it just me now?
