Klaus. Why aren’t you doing this in the forum???
I made a stack with two cards. Card 1 has a button on it: global tTime on mouseUp put the ticks into tTime visual effect "checkerBoard" slow go cd 2 end mouseUp In the card 2 script: global tTime on openCard put the ticks - tTime into fld 2 end openCard I get about 60 ticks, so it seems the message is sent AFTER the visual effect completes. Know that with “preOpenCard” I get 0 ticks; the message is sent before the visual effect.
