To use it in a stack, you'll need to make it a substack of your own
mainstack. In that case the visibility can be set by your own
scripts,
and toggled by a button or menu item you create (use "set the
visible of
stack <whatever> to <true/false>".) The plugin wasn't really meant
to be
that sort of tool though, it's an IDE addition.
I tried this:
set the mainStack of this stack to stack "Foo"
and I got the following:
Message execution error:
Error description: Chunk: source is not a container
the syntax for setting the mainstack is :
set the mainStack of this stack to "Foo"
That's why you got the error message.
However, I was able to bash through to success: Stack Inspector was
not available (grayed out), but I was able to click on the card with
the edit tool and make the Object Inspector available. I was then
able to inspect the stack via the Inspect submenu and choose my
target stack as its mainStack from the mainstack pulldown menu (with
my target stack open). Rev complained that stacks named with "rev"
as the first letters of the name are reserved for the IDE so I
renamed the stack. After the renaming, the stack inspector is no
longer grayed out when the stack is launched, but trying to set the
mainStack property by script still produces the error message. But
auto-save works.
Maybe this workaround will be useful to other RevMedia users wanting
to use plugins as substacks. But in the end, I've decided to use the
closeField message passed to my stack script to trigger a save
instead of a time interval, so I removed the substack. I'm not sorry
for the learning experience, however. Thanks to all who helped.
