I have a simple calculation application i am trying to get working but i cannot seem to "set text fields" to a default value.
I am using Xcode 2.0 with 10.4.3
here is the relevant code
on awake from nib theObject tell window of theObject set the contents of text field "X" to "0" set the contents of text field "y" to "0" updateDisplay(theObject) end tell end awake from nib
the error i get is
"Can't make contents of text field "X" of window of window id 1 into type reference. (-1700)"
if i drop the tell window line i get
"Can't make contents of text field "X" into type reference. (-1700)"
later in the script in response to a button click this line works fine
on clicked theObject tell window of theObject try
set the contents of text field "X" to theXvar on error set the contents of text field "X" to "error" end try end tell end clicked
anyone have amy insight on what i am doing wrong ?
thanks
