Have a substack and when the card opens it looks for a background image

set the itemdelimiter to slash
    put the filename of this stack into dbPath
    delete the last item of dbPath
    put "/cartridge fork.PNG" after dbPath_#
    set the filename of image "cartridge fork.PNG" to dbPath

dbPath is empty I think it is because if you look in the stack properties
under filename it has a [inherited] at the end, how do I correct this?

Use the "effective" keyword:
   put the effective filename of this stack into dbPath

"effective" can be used for any inherited property and will get the
value in use, even if it is not specifically set for the object you
are checking.


Second question

If I open a substack from substack how do I pass the card name and stack
name as a variable to replace "view_valving" and "insertvalving" in the
following code?

put fld "newrecord_id" of card "view_valving" of stack "insertvalving" into
fld "record_id"


put "otherCardName" into tCardName
put "otherStackName" into tStackName
put fld "newrecord_id" of card tCardName of stack tStackName into fld
"record_id"

Cheers,
Sarah
