Re: easy externals question

[FlexibleLearning]

Thanks Chipp and Brian... I think I didn't clarify very well.   'the externals' can easily be set, using relative or calculated paths. This is not a problem. What I find strange is that the stack has to be closed and re-opened for the externals to 'fix' and so make the externals available for use.   I discovered that we can "set the externals of stack tStackFilePath to tExternalFilePath" from another stackFile. When opened, tStackFilePath works on first time launch.   Perhaps a sub-stack can have its externals set when the mainStack launches, and when the subStack opens it is ready to go. Dunno. I'll try this approach also.   /H     In a message dated 24/09/2004 17:04:04 GMT Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: From: Brian Yennie <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: easy externals question To: Discussions on Metacard <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed I would try setting a relative path to your externals- then there should be no need to reset the paths.
