How do I resume a paused Script... with a Script?

[CCBtx]

I have script A. Is says:

.....Process

New Window

Goto Layout ["Review Data"]

Pause/Resume Script [indefinitely]

.....Continue to Process

I execute Script A. It gets to the Pause.

Now I am on the "Review Data" Layout

I have A Button on that Layout.

Button A Prints the Layout via a new script called "Print Layout"

I really want Button A to Print the Layout, Close the "Review Data" layout and resume Script A.

If I add:

Close Window

Exit Script

to the Print Layout script, it does close the window, but it only exits the Print Layout script (which would happen anyway)

Script A is still paused.

How do I automatically step past the pause in script A?

Christian Marks, my brilliant former cube neighbor, totally helped me on this one when I got stuck recently. When you right-click on the button and go to Button Setup... and choose Perform Script there's a dropdown in that dialog where you can choose Pause/Resume/Other Stuff. Pause is the default. Make it resume.

Again, thanks Christian. You saved my day on this one (and possibly CCBtx's)

Hey Lauren...

I know that works if I assign "resume" directly to the button.

The problem is that I want to assign the button to a script... and then have the script execute the resume.

Thanks anyway for the response.

UPDATE!!!

OMG!!! You are so great.... I totally missed what you were saying. That works. Thanks so much!!!

Do you have other buttons on the layout?

Sounds to me like your structure should be:

Script A

stuff

Pause

user clicks Print (button set to Resume)

Perform script "Print" (doesn't need to be subscript).

Close Window

// end of ScriptA

Yes. Actually I do.

I have a Print Button (Button A) and a Cancel Button (Button

I think Lauren's solution worked. Thanks so much for the reply.
