hey Paul,
I changed it to "contains" (as you suggested) and now it works. Thanks.
Still seems like a bug to me since I KNOW that I don't have a space or
return or anything in the name.
2) I was not aware that RC versions are not necessarily considered stable.
I had kept using that version, because just about every time I upgraded to a
new version I had some new problems.
Do you recommend any newer version as truly stable? Unfortunately, my
experience with LC is that I just trade one set of problems for a newer set
of problems.
Thanks,
Larry

Larry, it seems to work fine here, I tried LC 6.1.3 as I don't keep RC
versions, but I'm also on a Mac, however, at least it proves the script
sample is fine.
Just a thought, could the label of button "?" also have a space or return
char in the name?
Maybe try swapping the "=" for "contains"
e.g. if the label of button thisButton contains "?" then

Thank you Randy, but that's not the case here.
After I got your email, I triple checked. It's something else going on.

When I've had similar problems I had multiple buttons with the same
name.

I am using 6.1.1 (rc 4) on XP
I have spent HOURS trying to do something that seems fairly simple.
I have a column of buttons labeled "tile11", "tile12", etc
After I label the buttons, they are all alpha-numeric characters except
for one being labeled "?"
Then I call up the following command:
on doOpaque
put 0 into x
repeat rowNum times
put x + 1 into x
put ("tile1" & x) into thisButton
if the label of button thisButton = "?" then
set the opaque of button thisButton to true
else
set the opaque of button thisButton to false
end if
end repeat
end doOpaque
If I debug and step through it, it always seems to work. However if I
just run it, it invariably sets the opaque of the "?" button to false
and some other button (NOT "?") to true.
I'm really going crazy with this and would appreciate it if anyone
knows why this is happening.
Thanks in advance, Larry
