Sure, let's say we are in card number one, and the presentation, when
opening Card number 2 runs a handler that shows a field and dynamically
changes a button icon over time (see below). . .well, during development,
everytime we pass thru card 2 we don't want that to run. . .if I choose the
pointer tool and use the Navigator dialogue to go to flip through the cards,
when passing thru card 2, it still runs even though the pointer tool is
selected. If you have similar handlers in 10 cards in a 20 card presentation
it really slows your development down if they all have to run every time you
make a move.
on preopenCard
set the icon of button "theimage" to 2018
hide fld "MainText"
hide button "theImage"
end preopenCard
on openCard
wait 200 milliseconds
showIt
end openCard
on ShowIt
show fld "MainText" with visual effect iris open slowly
wait 200 milliseconds
show button "theImage" with visual effect dissolve fast
wait 1 seconds
repeat with x = 1 to 18
wait 20 ticks
set the icon of button "theImage" to x+2000
end repeat
end showIt
Whats neededis a "global static" mode.
