I've run into a weird problem I'm not sure how to search the
archives for.
I have a parent stack that loads a sub stack. I need to have data
pass between them so I used the following command to open the child
from the parent:
go to stack "/root/folder/child_stack.rev" as toplevel
In development mode, this code works fine and the code in
child_stack.rev runs as expected. However, when I compile
these .REV files to standalone apps, the code in the child_stack
doesn't work.
The code in the child_stack is simple. I create a set of buttons
with mouseMove/mouseUp commands so that they can be dragged around
the screen. I'm attaching the code in the buttons if that helps.
The behavior in standalone mode is that everything is visible, but
the mouseMove doesn't seem to fire. Also, the ctrl+shift+option
key command doesn't seem to work either.
Does this rely on scripts that are in the parent stack? If so, you
may need to:
start using stack "Parent"
so that it's scripts are available to the child stack(s).
I guess this leads to a more general question, one that i asked a
few days ago, but obviously didn't quite figure out, and that is, I
need an application to load sub stacks. I need the sub stack to
perform some non-interruptible task, and then pass control back to
the parent stack. They need to share data. is it silly to compile
the parent stack and leave all sub stacks as .rev files?
NO, I don't think it is silly to do it this way as it makes updating
very easy. I have a major application that hasn't been re-built for
about 10 months, but it has about 20 separate sub-stacks that have
had numerous updates. However, you may wish to make the stack opening
stack very simple. Just give it a single button that asks for a stack
and opens it. Then have your next stack file have 2 stacks, with the
mainStack opening one of it's own substacks as a modal dialog.
