Why does this:
Code: Select all
on mouseUp
open stack "Dia"
end mouseUp
while opening the substack "Dia", also throw a 'bluey'?

And, by-the-by: this has happened both on MacOS 10.7.5 with LC 8.1.10 and on MacOS 13.2.1 with LC 9.6.3.

Is there such a stack? I open (or go to) stacks all the time. I bet you do as well.
Does this not throw en error?
Code: Select all
on mouseUp
if there is a stack "dia" then open stack "Dia"
end mouseUp

Richmond.
It just occurred to me. If the stack is not in memory, you must specify a file path to wherever it lives.

The substack, 'Dia', is a substack of the mainstack, so, according to the documentation, thè stack should open (which it does) and not throw up an error message.
There is NO error in the script.

I open substacks this way all the time with no issues whatsoever.
On the other hand, I often find that exceptions raised are often ether not entirely accurate or too vague to be of use, so the actual error report isn't always that helpful. For example if something is crashing with geometry manager, you get completely nonsense errors (or no error but it crashes).
Might there be an open/preOpen stack/card handler in the substack that is causing the error? Or something else in the substack?
To test it why don't you try creating a new empty substack and repeat the process? I'd wager you do not see this problem with a new empty substack.

I am sure it was a script in the substack: having modified that
there have been no further problems.
I does say something about the standard of error reporting, though.

It’s a known issue and one I think they plan to address with the engine change that will allow compiled scripts…
