Re: Strange script error - pass openStack
Hi. You are getting the error message in the message box? If I make a new stack and place your handler in the card script, I will indeed get an error in the message box if I just invoke “openStack” directly. Of course, if I “send openStack to this card” all works fine. Placing a red dot should not be pertinent. Placing the handler in the stack script works as advertised. I guess I am not clear about what you are seeing.

You (or another open stack) may have done something unusual. I'm not 100% convinced you've found the problem yet. There are a few inconsistent details in your message, plus it seems that LC did not pinpoint the offending code line? 3. But the home.livecodescript code could be more robust. (Always ensure a target and owner exist before accessing properties.) You could QA report that as a possible IDE bug. Meanwhile, don't pass openStack and see if you still get an error!

Strange script error - pass openStack
In trying to debug a problem with my music program, at one point I got an error dialog: Message execution error: Error description: Object Name: Hint: stack "/Applications/LiveCode Business 9.6.1.app/Contents/Tools/Toolset/home.livecodescript” So, I tried stepping through an openStack handler I have, and sure enough, once I passed the “pass openStack” I saw that same error in the Message box. I’ve just tried making a new stack that has: on openStack pass openStack end openStack with the red break on the line "pass openStack", and the same error showed in the Message box. I poked into the script of the stack home.livecodescript and see these lines if the short name of the owner of the target is not "Home" then pass openStack end if I add a line before that: put “foo” After the dialog is closed the Message box shows: Message execution error: Error description: Chunk: no target found Question 1 — should this be happening—me seeing a livecodescript error—and can it affect my openStack handler, or the total operation of my stack? Question 2 — should I be passing openStack on from my project? I’ve been doing that since HyperCard days and never thought a second about it.
