Re: advise about "go invisible stack URL"

2008-07-09 Thread Thomas McGrath III 

Nicolas,

You could either add the set visible code to your "open" command if  
you are opening by script as in:

open stack "helloWorld"
set the visible of stack "helloWorld"

Or if you 'have' to have it visible then you might want to open the  
stack off screen as a 'visible' stack instead of the "go invisible  
stack" then it will be still visible on opening! You still might have  
to have a script in the stack to open at screen center after saving so  
that when you reopen it then it won't still be off screen.

There must be a way of doing all
this without the invisibly-reopening
problem, but I've yet to figure out
a way how.

advise about "go invisible stack URL"

2008-07-09 Thread Nicolas Cueto 
Hello,

In a standalone I want to include an
update feature that downloads a
stack. This means I am now learning
how to use the "go stack URL" command.

My basic goal is to download a stack,
do some changes to it, save it, and then
close it -- all without the user seeing that
downloaded stack throut any of those stages.

After experimenting, this is what kind of
worked for me:

  put "http://web.com/helloWorld.rev"; into tURL
  go invisible stack URL tURL
  put "hello" into field "field" of stack "helloWorld"
  save stack "helloWorld"
  close stack "helloWorld"

I say "kind of" because the stack
got downloaded, modified, saved
and closed no problem, but, when
I later reopened that downloaded
stack in Rev it was not visible. To
see it, I had to set use the message
box to set the stack's visible property
to true.

There must be a way of doing all
this without the invisibly-reopening
problem, but I've yet to figure out
a way how.

Advise would be welcome.

Thank you.
