Well, here's the thing. It's *pre*OpenCard because the card and its controls haven't been instantiated yet. So sending a message to a control that doesn't officially exist shouldn't work. The script is there in memory, so you can call handlers in it, but it's not yet associated with an on-screen object. The pre handlers exist so that you can set things up before the objects take form. -- 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
