Standalone card problem

[Peacfulrvr]

I finished a rough draft of my program and saved it as a standalone. I have two problems.

1. on the intro screen I move a image around the screen. If the user pushes an arrowkey it freezes the game.
2. When in the game if you lose you are taken to the final slide in the stack and it is the end of the game. But if you push an arrowkey you can switch to other cards in the stack.

Hi.

For the second thing, the arrow keys do navigate if no control is in focus. You can trap the message in the card script if you want to stop that.

For the first, does this happen in the IDE as well, or only in the standalone?

Hi Peacfulrvr,

yep, I've been bitten by this feature before, too
Add this to your "openstack" handler:

Code: Select all

on openstack
  set the navigationarrows to false
  ## other opestack stuff here...
end openstack

This will prevent unwanted navigation between cards and stacks!

Best

Thanks Klaus, I think that solved the navigation midgame. I just noticed that this fixed both problems...

Dunbarx it also happens in the IDE I need to accept the first key pressed and ignore subsequent ones pressed.

Hi.

If both problems were solved, how could the screen still be freezing?

Or is it just a separate issue that you want to pass only the first keypress? And if so, any keypress? In any case, this is all doable.
