I've created menus and handlers, and use behaviors for them.
But when I want to paste, the handler can't find where I was.
If I'm in a field, "me" and "the target" both point to the menu button, not
the field; the selectedObject contains nothing, and I can't find something
like "menuSource".
THis is obviously easy and long solved; what am I missing?
I've never used behaviors in menus. The Edit menu is the easiest to
script, the engine keeps track of everything for you. You only need a
single word for each switch item to cover the basic stuff. Here's my
standard Edit menu:
on menuPick which
switch which
case "Cut"
cut
break
case "Copy"
copy
break
case "Paste"
paste
break
case "Undo"
undo
break
case "select all"
if the selectedfield <> "" then select text of the selectedfield
break
end switch
end menuPick
This works with anything: text, images, objects, etc.
