problems with mainstack staying on top and won't quit
Posted: Mon Mar 23, 2015 5:40 pm
Hi there,
I'm not quite sure how to explain the issue I'm having. Basically, the problem is that after implementing some commands (see below) my mainstack keeps floating over the top of the tools palette, message box, menu bar, script editor, etc (anything that's not the mainstack itself, including other applications like Safari). Then, it will also refuse to quit and I have to either Force Quit or use Task Manager to close LiveCode (on Mac and Windows, respectively).
My stack is essentially a game, so I have a set-up page for me to use and then on the next page (where the player starts the game) I wanted the backdrop to be black and all menus, taskbars, palettes etc to be made invisible. I also didn't want people to be able to click on the desktop. So I put in the following in a button:
Then, at the end of the game, I put in the following (also in a button) so that it would be 'reset' to normal.
After putting these in, the problems I described above started (i.e. the mainstack is staying on top and it won't quit normally). Can anyone give me any ideas why this is happening? I am running this on both Windows and Mac, and I've got 7.0.2-rc-2.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

set the decorations of this stack to empty
hide taskbar
set the backdrop to "black"
hide menubarCode: Select all
set the decorations of this stack to "title, minimize,maximize,close,menu,system"
show taskbar
set the backdrop to none
show menubar
