<< Ok, then, instead of setting the vis of the stack I am setting the vis of a
black graphic to serve as a "card backdrop" grc as you suggest. this still
doesn't work:
==============
on openStack
wait 1 second
lock screen
hide grc 1 #this is a grc filled with black
visual effect dissolve
unlock screen
end openStack
on closestack
show grc 1
end closeStack
=========
oddly, if I simply type into the message box. . .after the stack is open:
show grc 1 with visual effect dissolve # this works and so does:
hide grc 1 with visual effect dissolve
but then if I put the very same into the open stack handler. . .it STILL
doesn't work.
=========
on openStack
wait 1 second
show grc 1 with visual effect dissolve
end openStack
on closestack
show grc 1
end closeStack >>
It has been my experience that whenever you open a stack, the timing sequence
may start before you see anything appear on the screen so your graphic is
already hidden by the time your stack appears. I'd recommend trying various
delay periods greater than 1 second until you get the effect you want.
