Create a new button on a stack. Create another new button on the stack. They've both got the name "Button". It's up to the developer to give them unique names. This is a stumbling block for new users and there's really no excuse for it. If you dig into the bowels of the Tools palette you'll find that the IDE generates a unique name for new controls and then later overwrites this by assigning a generic name. When I created PowerTools I made sure to guarantee unique names to each new control in order to prevent getting into this situation. <http://www.ahsoftware.net/PowerTools/PowerTools.irev> -- -Mark Wieder mwie...@ahsoftware.net _______________________________________________ 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
