In LiveCode 6.7.5, I just created a test stack with the following: A field with some text in it and 2 buttons with the following scripts: Button 1 on mouseUp global gSelectedChunk put the selectedChunk into gSelectedChunk end mouseUp Button 2 on mouseUp global gSelectedChunk select gSelectedChunk end mosueUp Selecting some text, clicking button 1, clicking elsewhere in the field to deselect (so I can see if button 2 works) and clicking button 2, correctly select the chuck originally selected. What version of LC are you using? Perhaps being unable to execute "select gCurrentSelection" (assuming gCurrentSelection has a valid chunk expression) is a bug fixed in later version of LC. _______________________________________________ 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
