Let's suppose you have a, possibly invisible, stack containing a field
in which you
are saving the prefs:
Let's call that stack "Preffs" and make it a substack of your main
stack, here called "Mane".
Now, I suppose the first thing "Mane" ought to do on opening is read the
prefs from the field
in the substack "Preffs"; if, however, the substack is not open it is
probably unable to do that.
Try the following "just for fun":
[quite apart from your work!!!!!!]
Set up the main stack and the substack as I suggested above.
On the substack pop a field called "fPreffs" and enter the text
'Richmond was right" into it.
On the main stack pop a field called "fWell" that is empty.
TEST 1:
Now in the main stack's first card (err . . . well it will only have
one) pop the following script:
on preOpenCard
put fld "fPreffs" of stack "Preffs" into fld "fWell" of stack "Mane
end preOpenCard
save the thing and EXIT RunRev.
Oh, Blast; I just tried it and even though the substack was not opened
the text was transferred.
Well, 'Twas worth a try . . . :)
Restart RunRev and open stack "Mane"; what appears in fld "fWell" ?
TEST 2:
Now in the main stack's first card (err . . . well it will only have
one) pop the following script:
on preOpenCard
open stack "Preffs"
put fld "fPreffs" of stack "Preffs" into fld "fWell" of stack "Mane
end preOpenCard
save the thing and EXIT RunRev.
Restart RunRev and open stack "Mane"; what appears in fld "fWell" ?
Restart RunRev and open stack "Mane"; what appears in fld "fWell" ?
