Using radio button to go to marker

Question

Hi,
I'm using Director Mx for Windows. When the user checks a
radio button (cast member "bon"), I want the movie to jump to a
certain marker ("start"). I'm currently using the script below,
(which uses the hilite property) that I thought would solve the
problem, but nothing happened when I tried it.
on mouseUp me
if member("bon").hilite = TRUE then go to "start"
end if
end
Does anyone have any idea of what might work? Thanks so
much.

Your code should work, though half of what's there is
unnecessary.
Simplification:
on mouseUp
if member("bon").hilite then go "start"
end
That extra "end if" won't cause problems here, but in more
complex scripts
it can really get you in trouble. You only need that if
you're doing more
than one command within the "if" or "else" if there is one.
You can
generally tell if something like that is extra by the fact
that the
auto-indentation is off. Every "end if" should be at the same
indentation
as its matching "if". If it isn't, then something is wrong.
As for the other changes, the "me" is only necessary if
you're actually
going to use it in the script. Leaving it in is harmless, but
just extra.
The "= TRUE" is unnecessary in most cases, because saying "if
A" is exactly
the same as saying "if A = TRUE". And the word "to" is never
needed in a
"go" statement. (These are optional changes that won't cause
or fix any
problems, but saves a bunch of extra typing.)
