I've got a stack in the front scripts which has a PreOpenStack and CloseStack handler in it to update a list whenever a stack is opened and closed.
Trouble is i cant figure out how to get the name of the stack which is opened/closed. Can anyone help?
Btw. The stack is set to automatically pass the message once complete so the stack being opened/closed can perform its own tasks on those messages.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Look at the content of
the long id of the target. In Rev's messaging system,
the target is the original destination of the event message; in case of
preOpenStack and
closeStack messages, the current card of the target stack is the original destination; so we have to use the
long id to extract the stack name.
Code: Select all
on preOpenStack
put StackNameFromLongId(the long id of the target) into tStackName
-- proceed as planned
pass preOpenStack
end preOpenStack
on closeStack
put StackNameFromLongId(the long id of the target) into tStackName
-- proceed as planned
pass closeStack
end closeStack
private function StackNameFromLongId pLongId
-- determine where the 'stack "TheStackName"' part begins
put wordOffset("stack", pLongId) into tWordOffset
-- we only care about the name of the stack, so get the next word
put word tWordOffset + 1 of pLongId into tStackName
-- now get rid of the leading and trailing quote
return char 2 to -2 of tStackName
end StackNameFromLongId

Since computers do not have eyes like we do, the answer is YES
