sez [EMAIL PROTECTED]: >on openstack > show card1 >end openstack > >Should this code make card1 visible when run? "Show" and "hide" don't really work on *individual cards* within a stack. You can show/hide components on a card, you can show/hide entire stacks, but you can't show/hide cards in a stack. Interestingly, and perhaps analogously, you also can't show/hide specific words within a field; try "hide word 2 of field 'Fred'", for instance, and *the entire field* will be hidden, not just word 2 within that field.
>If it should then it don't, my question is why? When a stack opens, the first card in that stack automatically appears on screen, provided that you haven't played any funky games like opening the stack to a hidden window or something. This being the case, "show card1" seems like it'd be kind of redundant even if you *could* show/hide individual cards... *unless* "card1" ISN'T the first card in that stack. In that case, you probably want "go to card1" instead. If card1 is the actual name of the specific card you want to display: I'd recommend putting it in quote-marks. Yes, Rev *can* figure it out anyway, but sometimes Rev gets it wrong... If you left the quote-marks off *on purpose*, because card1 is a variable, and you want to show the card whose name is in that variable: In the code you supplied, the contents of the variable card1 aren't defined. If the contents of the variable card1 truly *aren't* defined *anywhere*, you'll get an error message -- try "hide field" or "hide button" *without* specifying *which* field/button, and you should get the same error. Liikewise, "go to card" *without* specifying *which* card should give you that same error. Hope this helps... _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
