Hi LiveCoders.
I'm working on my first real LC project and now I've dug myself into my
first LC hole. Hoping for some advice...
I want to present user with a dialog box that is more attractive than the
standard "answer" command. (Bigger type, transparent, icon buttons). I tried
making a separate card in a separate stack that I could open over my
mainStack card, but that is creating lots of errors now with "can't find
card" messages when I use:
call processingHandler of card "Main" of stack "Top".
Basically, I want a semitransparent dialog box with two buttons to open over
a mainStack card. The user's button choice needs to be returned to the
mainStack script and the dlog Card closed.
Any suggestions on how to do this?
I tend to use a semi-transparent image, either made in Livecode and
exported as a snapshot as a PNG and then reimported, or with GIMP; then
another couple of faux buttons (i.e. images) for "Yes" and "No";
just make sure that your 'answer' images are in the top layers of the
card so they don't appear peeping out from behind whatever controls you
have for functionality and/oe aesthetics on the card.
