Hi Ken,

Howdy,

I open a mainstack splash which does some visual antics (wiil eventually
setup everything), sends itself to an offscreen location, then opens the GUI
project substack.


If I don't open the substack (comment out the last line), it works fine, but
if I open the substack, I get an error:


 "         executing at 1:23:41 AM
Type    Chunk: can't find background
Object    OutlookInn_Splash
Line    get the loc of group id 1006
Hint    stack "/Macintosh HD/Desktop
Folder/RevStacks_Mine/OutlookInn_Splash.rev"

...which refers to 3rd line of the *mainstack* openStack handler. The script
has already executed and is done.


Why is opening the substack trying to rerun the script of the mainstack?

The substack has no scripts.

...and thats the point!


Since it has no script of its own, it executes the mainstacks script:
(Substacks do this ;-)
...
on openStack
  get the screenrect
  set the loc of this stack to ((item 3 of it)/2,(item 4 of it)/2)

## OK


get the loc of group id 1006

## probably no goup id 1006 in the substack "Outlookinn_Splash"!!! ## ergo: error :-(

Here's the script:

on openStack
  get the screenrect
  set the loc of this stack to ((item 3 of it)/2,(item 4 of it)/2)
  get the loc of group id 1006
...
  set the visible of fld 1 to true
  wait 5
  --open stack "OutlookInn_Top" --Here's the problem
end openStack

Solution:


put a generic "openstack" handler into the substack like:

on openstack
   ###
end openstack

...and it will work out fine :-)

Hope that helps...

TIA,
Ken N.
