As written, your script works here. The problem probably lies in the way you
have set up things in your stack(s). If there is no card/stack matching the
name of the clickText, then nothing will happen when you click the text. Try
the following:
- Make sure your cards/stacks are named to match the text being clicked.
- If the card/stack names are more than one word long, make sure that you
have grouped the text to be clicked. (Select the text and then select
Style/Group from the Text menu.)
- Make sure the field(s) containing text to be clicked are locked, otherwise
you are in editing mode, and the mouseUp won't be sent when you click.
- For stacks, are the stacks you are accessing substacks of the stack where
you're clicking? If not, you need to set the stackFiles property of the
stack where you are clicking to ensure that MetaCard knows where to find the
stacks you are trying to open.
Hope this helps!
