Hi All,
As as I understand it, if you do a "go to StackX" but don't do a "start
using stackX", then you can send it messages but not call functions
within StackX.
Not exactly. A "go" command is identical to opening a stack using the
"Open" menu item in the File menu. The stack becomes the topstack and
functions like any other topstack, with all its scripts available as
part of the normal message hierarchy. All normal system messages are
sent when the stack opens. As a matter of fact, "go" is the primary
method of opening a stack via script.
If you do a "start using StackX" but don't do a go to "StackX" then you
can call functions in the stack but cannot send.
Not quite. The "start using" command is almost identical to "insert
script of <whatever> into back", but it inserts only the stack script.
The current card script is not available, nor are any other object
scripts. If you want to access any script other than the stack script,
you can "send" to them directly but cannot use them as part of the
normal hierarchy. "Start using" is a shortcut for "insert script of
stack X into back".
For trivia buffs: "start using" places the script before of the Home
stack script, where "insert" places it after the Home stack script.
If do "start using" and "go" then you can send messages and you can
call functions.
Yes, but you can use the entire script without both going and using. You
can pick whichever you need; "go' makes the stack visible (unless you
"go invisible" specifically) and functions just like "open", including
sending all system navigation messages (openStack, openCard, etc.) and
making access to the current card script available; "start using" loads
the stack script only without sending any system messages and without
making the stack visible.
Is this correct??
One out of three, sorta. ;)
Many Thanks
All the Best
Dave
