Hi,
this might sound like a beginner's question, but what exactly is a
mainstack and what a substack?
Which one is for what? How do I structure my project around these
structures?
Do I throw my splash screen and opener into a mainstack, and everything
else in a substack, or everything in
You could think of it as the mainstack is like the DIR that you created a
projector from, and substacks are other DIR files that you added to the
projector. Whether you go on to do a go movie whatever, or show a DIR as a
MIAW (these acronyms will confuse the regular LiveCod users!), is up to
Hi Christophe
I've been using this mainstack/substack thing for so long that I had to think
quite hard to give an answer. Others may respond differently, but my take on
this is:
Every program in LiveCode has to begin with a mainstack, which is the stack
that is loaded when the program starts

Hi Graham,
Hi Colin,
thanks for the clarifications.
Since we are at it: what is the image library, why is not every
graphical asset imported to it, and what is the difference between
placing an image onto the stage and a reference?
Christopher,
This has been answered above but I think you should take the time to learn
more about the message path since you're learning more about stack
structure.

I routinely swipe clever handlers from this list and store them in a library
stack that is put in use on my LC startup. I try to give credit for these in
comments, but I still have a few whose origins are unknown….

Richard,
put url always puts the entire enchilada, where open/read/close
might not, depending on your read statement format. But if you're doing
a read from file x until EOF it seems like they should both succeed or
both fail.

Well now I have to ask, how does this affect the message hierarchy in a
standalone? Are messages generated in a substack still passed to the mainstack?
If not, this would explain a lot better than anything else why the splashstack
approach is recommended so much, and ALL you actual

Didn't something change recently with the recursion limit? Maybe
something in the engine changed too. Also, I've had a few cases where

me think in this case the debugger is managing the recursion somehow.

Hi.
Make sure you read the last line...
I can see a recursion issue if the dialog line is skipped, since the handler is
called again lower down. Stepping through the script line by line invokes the
dialog each time.
As it ought.
But I cannot figure out why this works manually and not

It isn't really hung, you can command-period to abort the infinite loop.
