Terence,
Interesting, but it seems counter-intuitive to have a handler that references
the stack being required to be on a card script. Which card? I assume it's the
card that first opens in the stack?

You really have to understand the message path for this kind of thing to be

actually obvious. If you don't know the message path, it seems

Tnx for the comments, all.
Just to check my understanding of this issue:
So, the “on preopenstack” message, in a card script, will only get triggered
once, when the stack is opened? It won’t get triggered when you go to another
card with an “on preOpenStack” handler??

Richard,
sorry for not being more clear.
I understand that if a stack is opened, then the preOpenStack handler is
triggered (it is in the first card), but if I go to another card on the same
stack with a different preOpenStack handler on it, I would assume the
preOpenStack handler wouldn’t

If I understand correctly, what is happening is that the preopenstack message
is getting passed through the MyOtherStack script and ends up going to the
main stack script. One solution is to put an empty on preopenstack handler in

Honnestly I don't know. I had a similar problem as yours with

solution I mentioned. Therefore I don't if it also happens in

If you move the preOpenStack handler to the script of the first card of the
mainstack, the substack won't trigger the handler. This is a common method of
handling housekeeping and other routines that you want run at startup, but
don't want triggered by substacks.

Well, never mind, I guess, I see I reported this bug as 7006 way back in the

I think I've run into that and got round it by checking the name of
this stack in the preOpenStack handler and only executing the rest
of the script if I'm in the mainstack. Actually, come to think about
it, that was in a preOpenCard handler for a card in the main stack,
