RE: In standalone, closing a modal closes everything
Hi Chipp/Trevor By chance, have you implemented something to work around this bug? Wait for fix? Subject users as is? If testing for engine version, then what? I am at an impasse. Nothing seems quite workable to me.

RE: In standalone, closing a modal closes everything
Well, I guess it is fixed. I had had no closeStack handler in the substack, but when I place on closeStack end closeStack into the stack script of the substack, the resulting executable works. Apparently, a call within the substack button to 'close this stack' or 'close stack License' sends a closeStack message up the hierarchy? I did not realize this...I thought the button script had to specifically say 'closeStack' to yield that result. So 'close this stack' in the button apparently reaches the following in the stack script of the main stack on closeStack if the environment is not development then quit end closeStack which I guess explains why I was not having a problem in the development environment. Thanks everybody for bearing with me.

Re: In standalone, closing a modal closes everything
Mark, the closeStack message is sent by the engine when a stack is closed (a sort of notification that the user has closed a stack), and like other messages, will pass up the message path unless trapped. so if you wanted to use it to make sure the standalone actually quits when the mainstack is closed, rather than any stack, you could do this: in the mainstack script: on closeStack if the environment is not development AND the target is me then quit end close stack See also : shutdown, shutdownRequest, closeStackRequest best, Mark On 31 Jan 2007, at 12:16, Mark Powell wrote: on closeStack if the environment is not development then quit end closeStack ___ 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
RE: In standalone, closing a modal closes everything
Aaargh. I solved the one problem (trapping the closeStack handler) so that the rev application does not quit improperly. However, now a new one has come up. The closing of the modal *SUSPENDS* the application (throws the focus onto Outlook, Photoshop, or some other application)! The rev application is still in the taskbar, it just is not active anymore. This, I believe, is the bug in 2.7.2 that Chipp raised a few weeks back. Am I right? Anyone know if that little bug has been fixed? Or am I again showing my ignorance as to how message passing is supposed to work? Thanks very much.

From my main stack, I call a stack with modal stack MyAnswerDialog On that modal stack, there is an OK button with the script ending with close this stack In the development environment, the modal is closed as expected and you return to the main stack. As an executable, clicking the OK button quits the application (i.e. OK closes both main and modal stacks). I am using Rev 2.7.2. Am I doing something wrong? I could have sworn this has worked in the past. If you use the following, does it still happen in the standalone: close stack MyAnswerDialog ? I'm wondering if, for some reason, the closeStack message is being sent up the hierarchy when running in standalone mode. In other words, maybe close this stack is being executed by the mainstack (the engine in the standalone.)

RE: In standalone, closing a modal closes everything
It ends with that -- what comes before it? --in main stack, button script is... on mouseUp openLicenseDialog end mouseUp --in main stack, stack script is... on openLicenseDialog modal stack License end openLicenseDialog --in stack License, button script is... on mouseUp RequestDone end mouseUp --in stack License, stack script is... on RequestDone simple variable checks here close this stack end RequestDone BTW, Devin, I have tried saying specifically close stack License but the result is the same. I should clarify one thing. In development it works as expected. In the standalone model, I am using the altSplash methodology, so the splash screen is technically the executable, while the main stack referenced above is an un-compiled stack. Also, I know there has been a bug in one version of Rev or another of focus switching out of Rev into another application. I experience that with 2.7.2. I can hack together a small sample of what I am talking about later today, but any idea beforehand are greatly appreciated. ___ 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 ___ 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
