odd behavior of scriptparameter
i have fm8. i have a button that executes a script that opens another layout with the scriptparameter of "legal".
then i execute another script to return to the original layout with the command of
if [get(scriptparameter)="leg
goto layout["legal"(legal)]
else goto layout["detail"(detail)]
end if
but it does not return to the legal layout. with debug on it shows that the if test is false
if i put a set command on a global field as the last command line in the first script. it sets the global field correctly
but when i put it as the first command line before the if statement in the second script it does not set the global field correctly
what could be my problem

i see, i was confused... i have used the scriptparameter before, but always in the script that it was set for. never for a second script. thanks
