New user question
Hello! I am new to RR but have used SuperCard for many years an amateur and HyperCard before that. I'm working on my first project and I had a question. I have a stack with 2 substacks. (I love the idea of substacks, btw). From the main stack I want to open a substack but keep it invisible, then later show it. In SuperCard it would be: open invisible project projectName show project projectName (or: set the invisible of project projectName to true) I seem to be able to use open invisible stack stackName at least I don't get an error. But later in the script when I try to show or set the visible of the stack to true, I get an error that the stack can't be found. What am I missing? Thanks!

on mouseUp go stack VoluntTracker Volunteers wait 3 seconds beep wait 3 seconds show stack VoluntTracker Volunteers end mouseUp I put the beep in to test to be sure it was running. The error I get is: button New Volunteer: execution error at line 6 (Chunk: can't find stack), char 4 I've tried combinations of open, show, go, set invisible, and use the stack name and the stack ID. Always the same error. Steve On Aug 13, 2009, at 5:10 PM, Richard Gaskin wrote: Steve Jones wrote: Hello! I am new to RR but have used SuperCard for many years an amateur and HyperCard before that.

Re: New user question
Hi Steve: If you don't get an adequate solution to your problem, you can always keep the stack visible and set its location to -1000,-1000. Then, when you want it visible, just set the loc of stack Invisible to the screenLoc or wherever you want it.

Re: New user question
But if I was typing the name wrong, wouldn't the error appear first at line 2?

Not if the misspelling was at line 6. ;) I've been puzzling over this too, because I don't see anything in your script that would cause an error. You aren't closing the main stack at any time, are you? If you do that, all substacks get closed too. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
New User Question, OSX, return in field
Hi Folks, As a newly licensed user of Revolution (thanks RunRev for the license changes) on OSX, can anyone tell me if there is an easy way to get a field to ignore the return key? On OSX the return key is supposed to invoke the default button (which I have one of) but it doesn't seem to work in Revolution.
