Re: Another STANDALONE query, I'm afraid

2005-05-04 Thread Sarah Reichelt
I now understand how to build a Standalone that saves data in a stack -
first make a "stub" stack, and then create your real stack as a 
substack,
and set the standalone options to treat it as a .rev file, so that the
standalone user can save to it.

My problem is that before I appreciated this, I had created a large 
stack as
a mainstack. Now I want to make it a substack of a new "stub" stack.

How do I do this? I hope it's a really simple question that I just 
can't see
the answer to...

Make your "Stub" stack as a sub stack of your current main Stack, which 
I will call "Main" for this example.
Go through all the sub-stacks in "Main" and use the popup button in the 
Basic section of the Stack Inspector to set their mainStack to "Stub".
Now set the mainStack of "Main" to "Stub".
If "Main" contains a lot of scripts that you want all sub stacks to be 
able to use, you can copy them all to "Stub", but I prefer to keep the 
splash screen stack almost empty, so I prefer enabling "Main" as  
library stack with: start using stack "Main"

HTH,
Sarah

Specifies which main stack a substack belongs to.
set the mainStack of stack to mainStack
set the mainStack of this stack to "Central"
set the mainStack of stack "Hello" to "Goodbye"

You technically don't need to.  Just include the actual stack in the 
same folder as the "stub" stack, and the standalone "stub" stack should 
find and open it, just as in the IDE.

If you really want to do this anyway, you need to make sure the "real" 
stack has no substacks of its own (only one layer deep allowed), then 
simply set its main stack (in the property inspector) to be the stub 
stack.  Save the stub stack.

Be weary of unhandled messages from the substack being obtained by the 
mainstack!

The answer is in a TAOO folder structure. 

Spread your stacks in one or many subfolders depending on the
context. Your application knows where to search and
the rest is go to stack x...

The best is to have one engine and many data files you
can upgrade without modifying the engine...
