Navigating with buttons

[draganoid]

Hello,
This is my very first day using Livecode or ANY other app creating software. I am trying to create the nuts and bolts of a business app. My question is simple.

When i click on a button that i created, it opens up the correct stack in a new window. What code do i use to navigate to the new stack by replacing the current stack in the same window instead of opening new windows for every button and stack that i click on? Right now, i end up with all my stacks open at the same time in front of and behind each other. Thanks

this is in a Windows output file.

Hi.

Welcome. You will have a blast.

When you open (go to) another stack, or create a new stack, if you want to lose the stack you came from, you must explicitly either close it or hide it. BUT, this may lead you to think about the possibility of using multiple cards in the same stack, if that will do for your purpose. Are you aware of this option? I suspect this may be what you really want. Navigation to another (or a new) stack ought to have a sound reason behind doing so.

So write back, and say what you wish to accomplish by going to another stack. I bet you 50 ticks that you really want multiple cards. And these "live" in the same window. Think of a rolodex.

Now where did that come from?

1. welcome to the forum!
2. what Craig said!
I am also sure after reading your post, that creating and using cards is what you need here!

Here some great learning resources for the basic basics and concepts of Livecode:

Thanks people! I recreated the app using multiple cards instead of multiple stacks and it worked perfectly!

I have been reading and trying to create an Android stand alone app for the last 24 hours. (very little sleeping in between). Some forums and sites are telling me to download the SDK files and some are saying to delete the newer ones. Not matter i have downloaded or deleted and re downloaded, i cannot create the output file because of a manifest error. Live code is definitely accurate when it says you will be building apps on the first day. However, if i can get it exported for Android, then i am going to give up. It works fine on Windows though but the intention is to save time at my company by using the mobility access. I spend this whole weekend trying to get the nuts and bolts of it working but have nothing to show for it.

Thank you, so much!

Be sure you have followed the directions for your platform: http://lessons.livecode.com/searches?ut ... mit=Search

Also (and this may be the main reason) be sure that you have chosen "For development only" from the Signing popdown in the Android pane in standalone settings (under the File menu.)
