In a preOpenCard handler, I have an unqualified reference to a field on the card which causes a "no such object" runtime error. The reference is correct, no typos, and the control exists on the card.
If I qualify the reference with "of me", the runtime error goes away. This card is opened by a dragEnd handler after a control has been dropped onto a different card in a different stack. I suspect that without the "of me" qualification, LC thinks I'm referring to a control on the card it was dropped on to. In fact, if I display the value of "this card" at the start of the handler, it points to the card on which the control has been dropped, not the current card I can easily fix the issue by setting the defaultStack to the stack my preOpenCard handler is on (I think) but shouldn't any control references refer to the card the preOpenCard handler is executing on unless the default stack has been changed to something else? _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
