I am currently writing an applescript xcode project.
How do you set up the ns popupbutton?
For example:
on buttonClick_(sender)
set goodBad to (I want to set this variable by a ns popupbutton)
say goodBad
end buttonClick_
Thanks for your help!!!!

A couple of ways to get the selection would be by using NSPopUpButton's titleOfSelectedItem or indexOfSelectedItem.
I did not really understand the apple webpage you linked.
Perhaps you could give me an example?
By the way, if I wanted to clear a text field with a button, what code do I need?
Those links are to parts of the documentation that Apple provides for the Cocoa API. Learning to navigate the documentation (and there is a lot of it) is important, since it describes what all of the classes and methods are. Unfortunately for regular AppleScripters, almost all of the documentation is for Objective-C (Apple's language of choice), but it can be converted to AppleScriptObjC fairly easily - see the release notes.
You don't really provide much information, but to speak a popup button's selection (the UI will be blocked while speaking) it would be something like:
onbuttonClick_(sender)
setgoodBadtosender's titleOfSelectedItem() astext
saygoodBad
endbuttonClick_
NSTextField is the class for a text field, and it inherits several common methods from the NSControl class - one of which is setStringValue, so to clear a text field you would add a statement in your button handler something like:
myTextField's setStringValue_("")
xcode ns pop up button
