Some of the other locks can help with speed too: - "the lockMessages" is a big one, if you don't need subsequent messages to be handled - "the lockRecent" can help some if your stack navigation isn't built on relative card positions (next cd, prev cd) Check out the "Properties"

Regarding that some of the visual effects work fine, and others don't... I tried setting the dontUseQT to true, that didn't fix it. I created another brand new stack and tested it on that stack, in case my current stack was somehow corrupted. Didn't work on the new stack. I reinstalled Metac

Can't see why either should work - unless you have a field with a name of 'Field "body"'. Shouldn't the second working example be: put "1" into fld_name put 123 into control fld_name Which would put the text "123" into the first field. I tend to use at the moment object references - ie p

Eugen, Could you simplify it, like: put "body" into fld_name put 123 into field fld_name When you use "control", you need to provide either a name or a number, as in: put "123" into control 1 or put "123" into control "body" -- picks the first control named "body" It won't work if yo
