go to such name = go to stack such name!?
Bonjour, Just discovering the following: In a script I put the short name of a stack into a global, say gStackName then another stack is opened. In a script in this second stack, I had put go to gStackName instead of go to stack gStackName and that is working!! (provided that the stack gStackName be opened, of course) I would have sworn that it was not possible! I just verifed with the message box that it was possible to go to any opened stack using (go to this short name) instead of (go to stack this short name) That seems not documented in the dictionnary. Am I discovering the wheel? ;-) Best regards André ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode

Hi André, That's syntactical flexibility due to HyperCard. It as always been like that. go gStackName works too. -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering Homepage: http://economy-x-talk.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/xtalkprogrammer KvK: 50277553 Use Color Converter to convert CMYK, RGB, RAL, XYZ, H.Lab and other colour spaces. http://www.color-converter.com Buy my new book Programming LiveCode for the Real Beginner http://qery.us/3fi Fill out this survey please http://livecodebeginner.economy-x-talk.com/survey/ On 8/21/2013 10:22, André Bisseret wrote: Bonjour, Just discovering the following: In a script I put the short name of a stack into a global, say gStackName then another stack is opened.
