I haven't used it recently.) One reason not to have a file dialog appear is that stacks can be substacks or just data in memory (as from a url) and not a file based item as in Hypercard.

This is what I would have expected. But no such feedback, except for the result being set. As mentioned, the stackfiles is a sort of substitute for what HC had. Rev will only recognize stacks by their short name if they are already in RAM. It does, however, allow you to refer to stacks by their filename, and if you do that they will open as you expect. I.e.: go stack "folder/folder/stackname.rev" If you don't know the file path and are trying to open a stack that isn't already listed in the stackfiles, then what you experienced is just how it is. HC had a built-in fallback option which is trivial to implement yourself in Rev: go stack "notInRAM" if the result is not empty then answer file "Where is notInRAM?" if it is not empty then go stack it end if end if -- 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
Re: no go?
see STACKFILES in the docs: *Examples: * *set the stackFiles of this stack to "My Dialog,Custom Dialogs.rev"* Use the *stackFiles* property to make one or more stacks accessible to handlers, even if the stack is not already open or in memory. ciao sqb On 17 June 2010 09:36, Colin Holgate wrote: > I see what you mean. > > ___ > 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 > -- - Stephen Barncard San Francisco ___ 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: no go?
Colin. If you try to navigate to a stack not explicitly listed in the "Search Paths" cards of the home stack (pertains to files as well) you get a dialog asking where it is. This is what I would have expected. But no such feedback, except for the result being set. Tripped me up, and I was wondering if it was just so.
