Hi All!
Does someone have an example of a recommended strategy for creating a stack
from a standalone via a script?
I?m attempting to create a script, ?fishing through many of the similar
questions in the archive.
I?ve been getting all kinds of strange results. I can get it to work, sort of,
but it seems to create multiple instances of the new stack at times. And when
I go into the Application Browser I see even more of my inept attempts at
getting this to work. Here?s what I?ve been trying to do:
On mouseDown
Ask file ?Save stack as:? --set path and filename for new stack
Put it into theNewStackname
Ask ?How many questions/cards??
Put it into x
Create stack theNewStackName with background ?quizTemplate?
Set the defaultstack to theNewStackName
Put 1 into y
Repeat x
Clone this card
Put y into cd fld ?TheCardNumber? --assuming that when you clone a card it
becomes current card
Add 1 to y
End repeat
Put ?? into x
Put ?? iinto y
Put ?? into theNewStackname
End mousedown
At times it appears that I get two new stacks, can?t really explain because I?m
unclear what?s happening. It will create the new stack, but then it doesn?t
appear to have created the cards after the new stack has been created??? (Also
probably because I've been going at creating the script via trial and
error...lots of error :-)
Eventually, I would like to create the new stack from a standalone, so I?m also
concerned that there will be other issues I need to be aware of when doing this
from a standalone? True? If so, like what?
What I would like to happen, is a new stack is created via a script with the
name, as determined by the end user, and with the number of cards. It doesn?t
seem like it should be too difficult but I think I?m getting tripped up on
naming the new stack, setting the defaultstack for cloning of the cards in the
new stack, and then determining what settings need to be set for purging, or
cleaning up after the new stack is created?
Anybody have an example?
Thank you!
