Good day,
A script in stack "xyz" says
on mouseUp
do somestuff
go to stack "abc"
do someOtherstuff
end end mouseUp
stack "abc" has an openStack handler with an error in it:
On openStack
do someStuff
start using stack "foo"
do someOtherStuff
pass openStack
end openStack
The handler in stack "abc" can't find stack "foo" for some reason --
maybe stack "foo" is mis-named, or in the wrong place.
What happens, at least in my case, in this scenario, is that the "on
mouseup" script in stack "xyz" generates an error, even though it
does open stack "abc" There isn't really anything wrong with the on
"on mouseUp" script in stack "xyz"
The openStack handler in stack "abc" doesn't execute at all, I guess,
because it can't find stack "foo" It saved okay, because the script
didn't know it wouldn't be able to find stack "foo" In other words,
the synatax is okay.
Maybe the openStack handler executes each line until it gets down to
"start using stack "foo" I'm not sure about this.
The failure of the openStack handler to execute the whole script
creates other problems with stack "abc", but I'm busy trying to
figure out what's wrong with the "on mouseUp" script. It seems like
there are two errors when there is really only one. Hair-ripping
results, though I figure it out eventually.
I'm a sub-newbie, so I'm not completely confident about any of this,
but I've checked and double-checked.
I don't think HC worked this way. This seems to suggest that Rev
either passes messages differently from HC, or it handles errors
differently, or both.
Maybe there's a good reason for this, but it seems like the way HC
handled errors made it easier to troubleshoot. I think in HC, I'd
just get an error message that said the openStack handler in stack
"abc" couldn't find stack "foo" I might have gotten a HC dialog box
asking "please locate stack "foo""
Can someone clarify?
BTW, I've always wondered where "foo" came from. It seems out of
fashion these days.
Thanks in advance,
Tim Miller
