livecode - Some problems in model window -


i create model window(new substack) find text in scrolling field. it's not working using following code

the following code calls modal window

on mouseup modal stack "sub" end mouseup 

the following code finding string in scrolling field

on mouseup      if field "ee" empty        answer "please enter filename" "ok"    end if    if field "ee" not empty        put text of field "ee" xx       --answer xx        repeat each word myword in fld "mytextfield" if  fld "mytextfield" contains xx find xx in fld "mytextfield"            exit top   end repeat       end if end mouseup 

here "mytextfield" in main stack

you don't explain "not working" means, because stack "sub" different stack, need use explicit reference field:

field "ee" of stack "mymainstack" 

another option set defaultstack property name of main stack, don't need use explicit object references:

set defaultstack "mymainstack" if field "ee" empty then... 

remember change defaultstack substack if ever need refer object in substack.
