How to Pass a script parameter?

[The Big Bear]

Hi all

Trying to learn something and I am proving that I am a slow learning. I have read so many times of this forums about the script parameter function and I am trying to understand how it works. I have read and reread the FM help file a dozen times and I do not understand how to pass a parameter to a script. I have included a sample file of what I am trying to do. I have attach the script to the four buttom on the sample file and want to go to the layout as noted on the button. Could someone lead me in the right direction of how this is done.

Tanks in advance

When you are selecting a script (specify script) for your button or calling a subscript, there is an option on the bottom of the window to specify a script parameter.

I thanks for the information but I have one more question. How do you connect the same script to four differnet buttom to go to four different layouts?

If your layouts were named:

Layout_1

Layout_2

Layout_3

Layout_4

Ex. Script

If[Get(ScriptParameter) = "Layout_1"]

....Go To Layout["Layout_1"]

End If

If[Get(ScriptParameter) = "Layout_2"]

....Go To Layout["Layout_2"]

End If

If[Get(ScriptParameter) = "Layout_3"]

....Go To Layout["Layout_3"]

End If

etc...

For each button you would put the appropraite layout number in the Script Parameter box (ex. "Layout_1" quotes included). The script parameters do not have to match the layout name but it makes it easier when you need to interpret the script.

I have modified your file.
