Hi,
I really don't realize how to deleting all cards from a stack, i tried to put on with Stack script:

delete all cards

but it doesn't work
Then I tried with

   put the number of cards into temp
   repeat with temp2 = 1 to temp     
      delete card temp2
   end repeat

It starts to delete cards, but it randomly stops with this error: can't find card

How do you delete all cards from a stack?

SOLVED, it must be appllied reverse way:

put the number of cards into temp
   repeat with temp2 = temp down to 1
      delete card temp2
   end repeat

Please note that when the last card is deleted, LiveCode automatically create a new one. It seems that a stack without a card can't exist.

Exactly! If there are controls on the "last" card, they will be completely deleted, which is NOT UNDOABLE!
