Folks:
Ok, if there is a way to get the name of the stack containing a particular
handler, I’ll use it. Otherwise, each “feature” stack will return a precoded
name. I had to fiddle to get the polling to work without errors.
The impetus for this is to re-factor the code for a project that’s looking
increasingly complicated, so I need to make sure I will be able to maintain it
without chaos, and thanks to Andre’s book for some direction.
local actionsList
on actionsList tList
put tList&cr after actionsList
end actionsList
—call this in the openstack handler
on pollTheActionsStacks
put "" into actionsList
dispatch “pollActions"
end pollTheActionsStacks
—Each script only stack contains this:
—The name returned is set for each “feature” stack. I’d rather have it return
the name of the “Feature” stack, but just
— returning the name is ok too
on pollActions
put the short name of this stack into myAction
put "CP_handwriting" into myAction
dispatch "actionsList" to cd "Opening" of stack "CP_Main" with myAction
pass pollActions
end pollActions
Happy New Year,
Bill
