launch script eval(file.read()) palette or dialog

[scottm29310603]

So I have two scripts. One that opens the other.

So I open this script.

var w = new Window("palette","script",undefined);

var btn = w.add("button",undefined,"Lauch");

var file = new File("<u+200e>~/Desktop/test.jsx");

btn.onClick = function(){
    if(!file.exists){
alert("WRONG LOCATIONS")        
        }
                   file.open("r");
                   eval(file.read());
                   file.close();
    }

w.show();

Nothing special. Then I click the button and it opens the below script.ton",un

var w = new Window("dialog","script",undefined);

var btn = w.add("button",undefined,"TEST");

w.show();e = new

Now if I use "dialog", works fine. If I change it to palette. Not fine...Anyone know why this is? And how I can use "palette".

Palettes have no hierarchy and exist all at the same level. I've seen it work somewhere, but likely it means writing a lot of code to have some global script running permanently managing both palettes, not like this. I'm sure some of the script gurus can explain it better.

Cannot really explain why, but this works:

var w = new Window("palette", "script", undefined);
var btn = w.add("button", undefined, "TEST");

w.onResizing = function() {
	this.layout.resize();
};

w.show();
