Something not right, all right. I made a new button "b3", and put this in a script somewhere: on mouseUp get the coloroverlay["color"] of btn "b3" if it = "" then answer "Yep, empty, all right" end if combine it with return --just to make sure it is an ordinary, not array, variable if it = "" then answer "Yep, empty, all right" end if set the coloroverlay["color"] of btn "b3" to "" end mouseUp The variable "it" is always empty, but the property cannot be set to empty. It is possible to set it, as you know, to anything else, inlcuding "0".

Hi friends, see subject, how do I "switch off" of the coloroverlay["color"] setting of a control? -> set the coloroverlay["color"] of btn XYZ to empty Gives an error.. Maybe set it ot 0? Or will the 0 be interpreted as a "shortcut" for 0,0,0? Any hints welcome, thanks :-) Best Klaus -- Klaus Major http://www.major-k.de kl...@major-k.de _______________________________________________ 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
