Hi Jan,

Yes, this was what I originally expected. But it's not working as of yet during runtime... only in the development environment. Will this be implemented shortly (prior to launch) so that it works the same during runtime? What if the two stacks are sized differently? What will happen then?

It would be nice to have answers to these now so that developers like myself can make adjustments based on fairly large items like this.

I've discovered some other significant (for me) change to the runtime environment in the past few days. A traditional cascading menu (built with the menu builder).... which worked fine yesterday during runtime... no longer works today. The menu (which I dragged to the center of the stack so it functions as a button with cascading selections), depresses OK. The list of hierarchical selections show up OK. But any attempt to actually make a selection fails.

Obviously, they are making substantial changes to the runtime environment on a daily basis. This makes development very difficult. I can work around much of this and focus on other items, but it's the "not knowing what we'll end up with by 11/11" that makes all of this stressful, if not impossible. I actually don't think they know either. It seems to be very much a day-by-day situation. On the other hand, I fully appreciate the enormity of the challenge they face.

In the "known issues" section 
(http://revmedia.runrev.com/frequently-asked-questions/known-issues/)
covering Revmedia, it is stated that "go in window of stack"
will be fixed shortly. What do you interpret this
functionality to mean? It obviously doesn't relate to "go to
card x", since that works fine now.

Thanks.

Hi Richard,

Using 'go stack "OtherStack" in the window of this stack" you can go to another 
stack without leaving the current window - it's as if the target stack window opens in the 
same rectangle as the original stack and then the original stack window closes, but without 
the actual opening and closing of windows.

Just give it a try:
- create a new stack "MyMain"
- drop in a button "Go sub" with script
on mouseUp
  go stack "MySub" in the window of this stack
end mouseUp
- create a new substack "MySub"
- drop in a button "Go main" with script
on mouseUp
  go stack "MyMain" in the window of this stack
end mouseUp

Now play around with it, and you'll see that the same window remains open and 
you're just hopping back and forth seamlessly between the mainstack and 
substack.

To me, this sounds like the best interim solution for revlets' inability to 
open new windows for substacks - and it certainly fits in with the AJAX 
paradigm of modifying the current page rather than loading a whole new page.
