Hiding the Screen in a Screen statement

[Glazed Donuts]

I'm getting an 'Expected Screen Language Statement' error with this block of code. Why can't I hide a screen within a Screen block of code?

Code: Select all

screen show_tooltip:
    if buttonAppears == False:
        timer 100.0 action Show("tooltip_button")
        $buttonAppears = True
    else
        hide screen tooltip_button # <--- The error occurs here when I use 'Hide screen'
        hide screen function_tooltipButton # <--- The error also occurs here
        $buttonAppears = False

screen tooltip_button:
    mousearea:
        area (690, 575, 1.0, 1.0) #xpos, ypos, width, height
        hovered Show("function_tooltipButton", transition=dissolve)
        unhovered Hide("function_tooltipButton", transition=dissolve)

screen function_tooltipButton:
  imagebutton:        
        idle "sozai/ui/load1.png"
        hover "sozai/ui/load2.png"
        xpos 700 ypos 560
        clicked ShowMenu("save")    

EDIT: Also, I have one other question. How do you assign a value to a variable after clicking an button? For example I wanted to do something like this:

Code: Select all

screen function_tooltipButton:
  imagebutton:        
        idle "sozai/ui/load1.png"
        hover "sozai/ui/load2.png"
        xpos 700 ypos 560
        clicked $userClickedTheButton = True # <------- How do I do this for Screen language statements?

Well, I don't know how to do it "right", but you can try to do it like

Code: Select all

else:
        timer 0.001 action Hide ("tooltip_button")

If you need to change the value of some variable by clicking a button, then

Code: Select all

screen function_tooltipButton:
    imagebutton:        
        idle "sozai/ui/load1.png"
        hover "sozai/ui/load2.png"
        xpos 700 ypos 560
        clicked SetVariable ("userClickedTheButton", "True")

EDIT: uh... why do you made "show_tooltip" at all? Don't you have everything you need in "tooltip_button" screen?
