Thanks - I had not read these notes in detail and indeed it took some time to find anything like them on the RunRev web site - they don't seem to have stuck around on my Mac after installation. The only notes I could find are called "LiveCodeNotes-5_0_0.pdf, revision 7", and there's nothing on Page 12, so I still seem to have missed it - maybe you could tell me what it says?
In the document I did find, towards the end there's a list of "specific bug fixes" which includes, unless I drastically misread it: > Go stack (to different stack) doesn't play visual effects on mobile > Go stack in window doesn't play visual effects on mobile Well it doesn't work for me so I accept that as a limitation, and as I said in my original post, I have re-organised my app to avoid this issue by simplifying the structure so that everything the user sees is in one stack and thus I only require card-to-card visual effects. But none of this explains why my plain vanilla card-to-card example works while my attempt to do what I meant to be the exact same plain vanilla thing in my app, doesn't work. I can't see how I have influenced the engine's ability to do visual effects. Any clues?
