But you can still just refer to the data stack..

repeat with n = 1 to the number of cds in stack "dataStack"
  repeat for each line L in fld "somedata" of cd n of stack "dataStack"
    if L is whatImAfter then
       doSomethingWith L
    end if
  end repeat
end repeat

the point being that you can refer to, and work with any part of of your data stack without ever having to go to it.

Also bear in mind that refering to customProperties is many, many times faster than refering to the contents of fields.

Cheers,

Mark

Hi Everyone,

Often times I have a button switch stacks in order to retrieve data that I need to complete that button's task. In HyperCard I could lock the screen,

lock

the messages, push the card, go to the data stack, retrieve the data, pop

the

card and insert the found data. All without displaying the data stack.

When I

do the same thing in Revolution it displays the data stack for a flash.

Why

does that happen, and how do I stop that data stack from showing?


Better still, you don't need to "go" to a stack to retrieve data from
it.  You can just get it:

   get fld "Whatever" of cd 200 of stack "MyData.rev"

Good idea, except for the fact that I have to find the data after I get to
the data stack.
