card within a card

Post by jalz » Sun Jul 13, 2014 10:51 am

Hi all,

Is is possible to have an object on a card, which looks at another card. In other words, I want an object in the form of a rectangle on a viewing card which displays another card?

Thanks
Jalz

Hi Jalz,

no, not possible.
You may be able to fake this with a screenshot, but that is not the same :D


Best

Hi.

The xTalk paradigm allow only one card to be visible in each stack that is open. But this is your answer: make a new (smaller?) stack that overlies your "main" stack. This can be of any style, inlcuding modal types. That stack can be made to appear in any way you need. Nobdoy will be able to tell the difference, and the flexibility will be limitless.
