Folks:
First, Happy New Year. I’ve gotten obsessed with a very odd crash that’s
stopping my progress, so here it is.
I am on Mac El-Capitan 10.11.2 and Livecode 7.1. I have a splash stack that
launches my main stack, which has several substacks. When I load my main stack,
I “start using “ all of the library stacks that I need. There is a handler in
one of the library stacks that calls a script in the main stack’s stack script.
This script (in the library stack) can’t find the handler in the stack that
calls it. So, I tried to “start using “ the main stack. This crashes livecode.
Is it bad practice to “start using “ the main application stack? When I look at
“the target”, I get the reference to the button where the action was initiated,
but the IDE says that it can’t find the handler.
Here’s the sequence:
--Launch splash app
—button click on splash app opens the main app
—script in cd 1 initializes the main app and “starts using” the library apps
and substacks
Resut: If, in the initialization routine (in the card script of card 1 of the
main app), I do:
put the name of this stack into sName
if not (the stacksinuse contains sName) then
start using sName
end if
—result: livecode crashes. No error messages, just disappears.
If I don’t put the above statements in the initialization routine, LC does not
crash, but then
handlers in one of the library stacks can’t find the function handler in the
main app stack script.
?? This is quite frustrating and caps of a day of tedious coding that I thought
was finished, until this problem surfaced. Livecode crashes without any dialog,
error report. It just disappears.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Best,
Bill
