This is how I was originally opening the MIAWs:
on openDateSelection
window ("dateSelection").windowType = 2
window ("dateSelection").visible = TRUE
runTop = (the stageTop + 180)
runLeft = (the stageLeft + 143)
runRight = (the stageLeft + 885)
runBot = (the stageTop + 603)
window ("dateSelection").rect = rect (runLeft, runTop, runRight, runBot)
open window "dateSelection"
end
So then I thought to open it outside of the stage rect and then just move it into
position:
on openDateSelection
window ("dateSelection").windowType = 2
window ("dateSelection").visible = TRUE
runTop = (the stageTop + 2180) --position off stage
runLeft = (the stageLeft + 2143)
runRight = (the stageLeft + 2885)
runBot = (the stageTop + 2603)
window ("dateSelection").rect = rect (runLeft, runTop, runRight, runBot)
open window "dateSelection"
runTop = (the stageTop + 180) --move into position
runLeft = (the stageLeft + 143)
runRight = (the stageLeft + 885)
runBot = (the stageTop + 603)
window ("dateSelection").rect = rect (runLeft, runTop, runRight, runBot)
updatestage
end
But this approach still flashes for a split second in the lower right corner of the
stage. Even if I comment out the second set of rect positions. Does anybody have a
better approach or can you see what I'm doing wrong?
As alway, with much respect,
