OH! " This sends the message down the normal message path starting at the object containing the script. "
And here I've been thinking that a target was required for specificity, because of this in the dictionary: "If no target is specified, the message is sent to ' me '. In the context of a behavior, this is typically the child that is executing rather than the behavior object itself." Life just go easier.

Why do you need to turn the long id of the parent into a small array and dispatch to to any object along the path? From the search custom control I would just do the following: dispatch "behaviorSearchAndFilter" You can then handle the message farther down in a group, card, or stack script. What is it you are trying to accomplish with the parent of the search custom control? _______________________________________________ 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
