I don't recall the exact details as I set this up long ago. So I
doubt I could help you iron out the details. But some of the code
that transitions from stack to stack upon launch of my program might
give you a starting point. This code has been working pretty well
for a number of years:
Note that both "radial" and "explode" are custom created quicktime
visual effects that work on Macs but not generally on Windows. I
created the effects, and put the effect verbiage into a custom
property.
on openStack
global explode,radial,winLock,gPlat
if (the qtVersion < 1) or (gPlat is "W") then
set dontUseQT to true
end if
unlock screen with visual effect "dissolve" very fast
if qtEffects() is not empty then
put the radial of this stack into radial
put the explode of this stack into explode
else
set the dontUseQTEffects to true
put "checkerboard" into radial
put "iris open" into explode
end if
# do some other cool visual stuff while stack is open, then...
go invisible cd "helloThere" of stack "SecondStackThatOpened"
set the loc of stack "SecondStackThatOpened" to the loc of stack
"FirstStackThatOpened"
set the decorations of stack "SecondStackThatOpened" to empty
set the icon of cd btn "Showoff" of cd "helloThere" of stack
"SecondStackThatOpened" to "Brightlights.jpg"
show cd btn "Blackie" of cd "helloThere" of stack "SecondStackThatOpened"
show stack "SecondStackThatOpened"
hide cd btn "Blackie" of cd "helloThere" of stack
"SecondStackThatOpened" with visual effect "dissolve" very slow
end openStack
Note that cd btn "Blackie" is simply a solid black rectangle that
fills the card. It has no other purpose except to enhance the
visual effects of moving from stack to stack.
SCRIPT OF STACK "SecondStackThatOpened"
on openStack
if "FirstStackThatOpened" is among the lines of openStacks() then
close stack "FirstStackThatOpened"
end if
end openStack
SCRIPT OF cd "helloThere" of stack "SecondStackThatOpened"
on openCard
# other unrelated stuff deleted
send moveOn to me in 5 ticks
end openCard
on moveOn
go invisible stack "ThirdStackToOpen" as toplevel
end moveOn
SCRIPT OF STACK "ThirdStackToOpen"
on preOpenStack
global winLock
get number of controls of cd "MainCard" of stack "ThirdStackToOpen"
set the layer of cd btn "Blackie" of cd "MainCard" of stack
"ThirdStackToOpen" to it
set the layer of cd btn "Blackie 2" to it
show cd btn "Blackie" of cd "MainCard" of stack "ThirdStackToOpen"
set the decorations of stack "ThirdStackToOpen" to "default"
# do a bunch of other stuff
end preOpenStack
on openStack
hide cd btn "Blackie 2" of cd "MainCard" of stack "ThirdStackToOpen"
show stack "ThirdStackToOpen"
hide cd btn "Blackie" of cd "MainCard" of stack "ThirdStackToOpen"
with visual effect "dissolve"
close stack "SecondStackThatOpened"
wait 1 ticks
# do more other stuff
end openStack
