Hi,
I’m using Max 5 and writing a script that generate a number of buttons. When pressed the buttons set a variable and then start a tool. However I’ve found that if I press button A then button B, then try and press button A again the pressed action isn’t called for that button.
I’ve tried added a stoptool before the starttool in the pressed action but it doesn’t work. However if I type a stoptool into the listener window and execute it, I can click button A again.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Could you post your code here? It would make solving your problem easier.
Hi Wahooney, the code’s massive so I’ve made and example that illustrates the problem. If you run it with the listener window open, click button A and the “ButtonA Pressed” will be printed to the listener, then click button B, “ButtonB Pressed” is printed to the listener. Now press button A again and nothing is printed to the listener. If you then type stoptool MyTool into the listener and execute it, you will be able to click button A again and get the expected result “ButtonA Pressed”.
If anyone knows why this is or has a work around for it your input would be greatly appreciated.
Here’s the script –
global cMyVarG = “”
tool MyTool
(
– do something with variable cMyVarG
)
rollout MyRollout “My Rollout”
(
button ButtonA “Button A” width:64 height:48
on ButtonA pressed do
(
cMyVarG = “A”
print “ButtonA Pressed”
stopTool MyTool
startTool MyTool
)
button ButtonB “Button B” width:64 height:48
on ButtonB pressed do
(
cMyVarG = “B”
print “ButtonB Pressed”
stopTool MyTool
startTool MyTool
)
)
MyFloater = newRolloutFloater “My Floater” 210 500 872 76
addRollout MyRollout MyFloater
