Open card of substack in the same window

I have a button in my main stack that has the code
Code: Select all
on mouseUp pMouseButton
go to card "cd1" of stack "MySubStack" of stack "MyMainStack"
end mouseUp
The correct card opens but in a new window. How do I specify that it should open in the same window?
Thank you,
Linda

Important:
That will only work if both stacks have identical dimensions (width/height)!
But this is correct behavior: a stack (main or sub) = a window

Gracefully. It can still work with stacks of other sizes, but you probably won't like how the source stack gets resized to fit the destination stack.

Oh, then the mothership must have changed this sometime in the past.
Last time I used this, OK, must have been ages ago
, the stacks had to be of the same dimensions.

It's certainly a good idea to make sure that both stacks are the same size. Maybe the docs noted that as a guideline rather than a card rule? I can't recall; last time I used the docs for guidance on that was with MetaCard.

Having the windows the same size is what I like and what I was doing so this is great for me.
Also a little shorter version is to use:
Code: Select all
go to card "cd1" of stack "theSubstack" in window of this stack
Thank you so very much. This is fun.
