Detail

Labels can be created in Inline script by entering the name of a Label and appending it with a colon (e.g., "MyScriptLabel:"). Script based Labels are particularly useful when you want to Jump to a specific point in an Inline object.

The example script below uses 2 Labels in an InLine object: RightName and WrongName. When the name "Michael" is entered, the script jumps to the RightName Label in which a MsgBox states "Hello, MICHAEL!" If Michael is not entered, the script jumps to the WrongName Label.

'Place this example in an InLine object.
'This example gets a name from the user and then branches to a
'statement, depending on the input name. If the name is not
'MICHAEL, it is reset to MICHAEL unless it is null or the user
'clicks Cancel--in which case, the program displays a message
'and terminates.

Dim uname As String
uname = Ucase$(InputBox$("Enter your name:","Enter Name"))

 

If uname = "MICHAEL" Then
   GoTo RightName
Else
   GoTo WrongName
End If

 

WrongName:

If (uname = "") Then
   Display.MsgBox "No name? Clicked Cancel? I'm shutting down."
Else
   Display.MsgBox "I am renaming you MICHAEL!"
   uname = "MICHAEL"
   GoTo RightName
End If

 

RightName:

Display.MsgBox "Hello, MICHAEL!"
