Hi,
Ok, I think I have found the problem! I have a openStack handler in the script of the Stack, as so:
on openStack local myStackFileName,myStackShortName,myGlobalStackName
put the fileName of this stack into myStackFileName put the short name of this stack into myStackShortName put replaceText(myStackFileName, myStackShortName,"GlobalStack" into myGlobalStackName
set the cpGlobalStackFileName to myGlobalStackName --*****Breakpoint here
--start using stack myGlobalStackName -Commented out to stop crashing
end openStack
on closeStack if the cpGlobalStackFileName of this stack <> empty -- stop using stack the cpGlobalStackFileName of this stack -Commented out to stop crashing set the cpGlobalStackFileName to empty end if end closeStack
---------------------------------------
The Stack is closed and then I re-open it and hit the breakpoint and the variables are set as you would expect and I think the start using line would work ok.
I then hit run and then Save the Stack and hit the breakpoint again, this time the variables are set as follows:
myStackFileName - empty myStackShortName - empty myGlobalStackName - revSaving
I hadn't realized that the openStack handler gets called when doing a Save. What is the recommended action for handle this?
I could do one of three things:
1. Check if myStackFileName is empty and if so skip the "start uisng" 2. Check the Stack Name for "revSaving" and if so skip the "start uisng" 3. Check if in "development" moce and if so skip the "start uisng"
I suppose I need similar tests in preOpenStack and closeStack?
Can anyone tell me the best thing to do under this condition?
Thanks in advance. Dave
Hi Dave,
No. But a statement setting the defaultStack property yes. Best,

Hi,
That's how I thought it would work. I am getting very strange results from code that does this tho. Could the Current Stack be being lost as a result of calling "Answer" or put xxx into msg box?
Thanks Dave
Hi Dave,
In any script of stack A, if you call a function placed in the script of stack B, *this* will refer to stack A since your script has been initiated in stack A. Function or handler places do not matter. The only important point is: from where do I began :-)

Hi Dave,
e.g. if Stack A
does a start using start using stack "GlobalStack"
and thean Stack A calls a Function in "GlobalStack" that refers to "this stack" does that refer to "Stack A" or "GlobalStack" ?
Does this work the same way if the Stacks in question are both main stacks and does it work the same way in a Standalone Application?
"This" always refers to "the currently selected", whether referencing stacks, cards, groups, or individual controls. Substitute 'stack "GlobalStack"' for "this stack" in GlobalStack's stack script.

Hi,
I am confused, in the case where "StackA" calls a Function in "GlobalStack", when in that function should "this stack" return "StackA" or "GlobalStack" ?
I want it to return "StackA" so that the functions are general.
