Re: How to stop screen flicker
Hi, Hi, The problem is that the stack that is called can save itself, in that case, if it's been opened via a go invisible command then it save's it's state as invisible and so doesn't display when it's warm-started. I'm not actually showing the stack as such, I'm just restoring it's previous state, which has the same effect if the stack was visible to start with. I think that the only way around it is to have a show me in the Warm Start handler inside each stack, unless you have any other ideas? Thanks a lot All the Best Dave On 8 Apr 2006, at 13:26, Mark Schonewille wrote: Why then is there a need to show the stack? You can go invisible to the stack, change all properties, and close the stack, without showing and flashing the window. If there really is a need to issue a show command, set the window off-screen first. Please, let us know whether this solves your problem.

Re: How to stop screen flicker
Hi Dave, It is not clear to me what you are trying to accomplish. Why do you set the visible of the stack to true or false if you're going to close it anyway? If the problem is that the stack flashes *before* its visible property is set, it is possibe that removing as toplevel from your script solves the problem. Why did you include that? Completely contrary to HyperCard, Revolution's lock screen command prevents windows from being redrawn but does not prevent them from appearing on screen. You might want to set the loc of the stack off-screen before changing the visible property, then hide the stack and set the loc to the original value.

Re: How to stop screen flicker
Are you doing this in the IDE or in a standalone. If my memory serves, lock screen doesn't work in the IDE if script debug mode is on.
