Opening one stack from another
Hi Everyone, I hope you'll excuse the naive question, but I'm having trouble opening one stack from another. I'm trying to create a splash screen with stack X which will then open stack Y, so I tried this in the stack script of X: on openStack wait 2 seconds go to stack "Y" end openStack It doesn't work. Stack Y resides in the same folder as stack X. I also tried referring to stack Y as stack "Y.mc", and I included stack Y in stack X's "Stack files..." as well. Should I have specified the full path name of stack Y? I've also been reading about modes but am finding the online documentation a little obtuse. I'd like the splash screen (stack X) to appear without a title bar or close box. How can I do that?

RE: Opening one stack from another
Are the stacks you are trying to open in the same folder as the engine? the paths need to be relative to the directory property which is by default the directory that the engine is in. Use the decorations property to hide/shoe the title bar close bos and min/max/iconify icons Regards Monte -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Gregory Lypny Sent: Thursday, 14 December 2000 12:18 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Opening one stack from another Hi Everyone, I hope you'll excuse the naive question, but I'm having trouble opening one stack from another.
