Stephen, I hate to say this, particularly since this list is very
helpful and no doubt extremely talented and experienced in many
areas, but sometimes I don't think most are as creative as they could
be. I know it's a trite expression, but they need to think outside
the box more often. Your suggestion is exactly what one of mine, made
several days ago, would have led to. I didn't carry the ball any
further than just suggesting an approach, but I was sure it would
work and be easily accomplished. I got no response from that
suggestion. Of course it had to do with Answer and Ask dialogs using
images in the background; more or less the same thing.
So, have a pleasant Memorial Day weekend.

Richard, If it's a dialog that can stay within the window, have
you considered using groups instead of a new stack? I've found
that 'dialogs' created out of a group is quite effective, very
fast, and is easy to create a very attractive interface. I mean
really fast. hiding and showing.

There are two ways to use stacks as popup menus, and these can be
useful as grids and galleries. But sadly each method has its
weaknesses, and neither seems to allow users to interact with
scrolling groups gracefully if at all.
I've put together a sample stack at:
go url "http://www.fourthworldlabs.com/PopupTest.mc";
If you have time and interest, I'd appreciate any tips on how one
might get scrolling groups to work within popup stacks. If there
isn't a way to do it now I'll post a BZ request.
