Re: Note pad
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 åpneblokk 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 åpneblokk (The substack has a button to close it.) Sorry to have bothered the list with my sloppy scripting. Thanks to Scott Raney's reply I found a way out of it. Now I set the loc of both main and substack in on openStack (the mainstack) and in the button I just toplevel the substack. However, I would like to block the possibility of clicking in the mainstack which still shows on the screen, and thought that 'set the defaultstack to "carnet"' would do the trick, but it does not. Any help appreciated. Open the substack with *modal stack "carnet"*.

Note pad
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 åpneblokk 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 åpneblokk (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.
