Re: Stacks 'winking out' or hiding behind backDrop. I am not sure if this is a bug. To keep the backDrop present; that is, set to black, one must keep in mind the message passing order. In HyperCard-remember the old days-we RESUME to the Card then the Stack. So try:
In Stack Script: on openCard set the backDrop to "Black" pass openCard end openCard on suspend set the backDrop to none pass suspend end suspend on resume send "openCard" to this stack in 1 millisecond pass resume end resume I seem to remember that to avoid confusion when sending an 'on resume' or 'on resumeStack' message handler we put some 'resume' commands into a 'themOldHandlerBlues' message handler. This 'themOldHandlerBlues' handler is sent to openCard 'on resume'. So Try: on themOldHandlerBlues set the backDrop to "Black" end themOldHandlerBlues on openCard -- other openCard stuff here themOldHandlerBlues pass openCard end openCard I just discovered Revolution and find it delightful. Developing software in X-Talk languages again is a bright spot in my life. I think this will work in Revolution. (Did I mention "I Think"?
