I'm somewhere between pretty sure and absolutely certain this is nothing to do with the fact that it is a button. Try edit script of button id 1161 of stack "oldStack" in the message box. Probably there is no button with that id, or no stack "oldStack" in memory. On Fri, Apr 1, 2016 at 7:41 AM

My solution to this: Stack "MyTestStack" has a field, which is assigned stack "MyBehaviorStack" as its behavior property. Stack "MyBehaviorStack" is a separate stack file. would be to also include the behavior *setting* in the preOpenStack handler of "MyTestStack". on preOpenStack set the

I think some of your issues may be because you have the property inspector set to Property Labels -> Name of LiveCode property rather than Description of Option. I'll add a bug report to make sure the latter option is selected during the tutorial. The double click on the inspector icon is

Ah, the start center does (intentionally) close when you open a stack. But you can get it back from the Help menu. Note that most of the IDE functionality is disabled during the tour, so you won't actually be able to copy stuff to another stack. On Fri, Mar 18, 2016 at 9:30 PM RM

I have seen something like this too, but haven't yet got a recipe - looks like a redraw issue though. Perhaps to do with setting the rect under lock screen, or changing the tool under lock screen/messages or something like that. On Sun, 21 Feb 2016 at 03:51, Sannyasin Brahmanathaswami
