Hello,
I have struggled with something which probably is simple if you do the
right things. The problem is: I want a note pad to appear covering approx.
1/3 of the screen of the mainstack. I have tried toplevel, modal, palette,
lockscreen to true etc., before I ended up with the following script (in
MetaCard 2.2.5)
on �pneblokk
put the topleft of stack "franpo" into tl --"Franpo" is the mainStack
open inv stack "carnet" -- the substack
set topleft of stack "carnet" to tl
show stack "carnet"
end �pneblokk
(The substack has a button to close it.)
Then strange things happen: On the Mac:
When in Standalone the substack appears only after a second click).
On the Windows:
With the above script the loc of the mainstack changes to 0,0 while the
topleft of the substack remains in the right place.
Both in standalone and development:
When I click outside the substack (both), the controls of the mainstack
behave as usual, but sometimes the substack stays in front, at other times
it goes away.
In development environment the substack appears after one click, but the
message box pops up at the same time.
Any advice as to show the note pad (and block the controls of the
mainstack) is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Regards
