Re: Different size cards in same stack?

[Marian Petrides]

...
I would like to have different size cards in the same stack.  Is this 
possible?  How do I do it?
You could put something like this in the cards script:

on openCard
  set the height of this stack to 100
  set the width of this stack to 300
end openCard


This works when going from one card to another in the same stack 
--except that I ended up having to use preOpenCard handler to set size 
of stack--probably because when I was using on OpenCard I was using the 
handler to set the size of the CARD not the STACK. The key was not to 
set size of card but rather to set size of stack but to do it in a 
preOpenCARD  (or perhaps an OpenCARD) handler.  This was 
counterintuitive.

However this did NOT work when I tried to use it to set the size of a 
substack's window until I explicitly sent a preOpenCard message to the 
new card upon leaving the original:

on mouseup
  send preOpenCard to cd 1 of stack "wait while loading"
     --"wait while loading" is the substack
  go to cd 1 of stack "wait while loading"
end mouseup
and then

 Include the following in the CARD script of card 1 of stack "wait 
while loading"

on preOpenCard
  set the rect of this stack to 200,200,700,400
end preOpenCard
I thought I had figured out this card vs stack and mainstack vs 
substack stuff, but it looks Iike I still have some learning to do.

Thanks, Bjornke. This gave me a place to start.

To make a card a different size from the stack use PreOpenCard handler 
to set the STACK's rectangle.  Need to be sure to reset it on using  
CloseCard handler.

on preOpenCard
  global trect
  put the rect of this stack into trect
  set the rect of this stack to 200,200,700,400
end preOpenCard
On closeCard
  send openStack to this stack
--assuming that sizing instructions are included in the openStack 
handler for the stack

end closeCard





To do this by going to a separate substack (e..g. a palette substack)

1)  Need to explicitly send preOpenCard to the substack as you open it
For example as part of a button script:
on mouseup
  send preOpenCard to cd 1 of stack "wait while loading"
     --"wait while loading" is the substack
  go to cd 1 of stack "wait while loading"
end mouseup
2) Include the following in the CARD script of card 1 of stack "wait 
while loading"

on preOpenCard
  set the rect of this stack to 200,200,700,400
end preOpenCard
3) to exit can simply  use   go back as part of a mouseUp handler for 
the OK button

because the main stack is still open and the card you left from is 
still open in correct position and size
