 I can see the the downloaded version appear but once the revert command is
 done the old one comes back (its easy to tell the difference as one has an
 image of a pirate and the other does not).

 If I leave out the revert command the new version is open and in view, but
 does not become a substack of the splash.

 What am I doing wrong?

Your script is saying:
- close the substack
- download a new copy of the substack from the web
- now go back to the original saved copy

As Mark says, you need to have the sub-stack as a separate file. Then
you need to download the new version and SAVE it - over-writing the
original. Once you have saved the new version in the same location,
the revert command will load in the new one, not re-load the old
one.

Cheers,
Sarah

revert command

2009-06-11 Thread jim sims

I'm experimenting with an updater mechanism.

I have a splash stack which has a substack named stack RT

On the splash stack I have a button with:

on mouseUp
  delete stack RT
  go stack url http://www.ezpzapps.com/RevertTest.rev;
   revert
   start using stack RT
end mouseUp

I can see the the downloaded version appear but once the revert  
command is done the old one comes back (its easy to tell the  
difference as one has an image of a pirate and the other does not).


If I leave out the revert command the new version is open and in view,  
but does not become a substack of the splash.

Re: revert command

Hi Sims,

You can't revert a substack, or actually if you revert a substack, its  
mainstack is reverted too. From the docs:


The revert command also undoes changes made to other stacks stored in  
the same stack file. That is, if you revert a main stack, all  
substacks of that stack also revert to the last save, and if you  
revert a substack, its main stack and any other substacks also revert.


You could make the substack a stackfile, rather than a substak, of the  
current mainstack. That would allow you to revert it.
