LiveCode Forums.

I have a project that is going to get large. I want to have library stacks where I can put my code for general use by my project. How do I set up a stack that sits in the message path of all of my project stacks where I don't have to use "send" to invoke every handler that I want to call? A substack won't sit in the message path of other substacks, so that doesn't fit my need. I see Library stacks in other project, but can't find the recipe to attach them.

I've scoured the docs, probably missed it, but can't find the answer to what I think should be a very simple question.

See "start using" in the Dictionary.

Richard: Problem solved.
I was using the message box to invoke the handler. It works when I invoke it on the card that holds the app.

Hi waprothero,
I'am not sure what you mean about library.
You can use a stack to store handlers which you often need.
start using stack "MyLibrary" and all handlers of this stack will be available

I just had a session with this, getting it to work. The problem I was having was when I tried to load a stack using the "open" command, I didn't realize that it required that I put the .livecode extension on the stack name. It would be nice if the docs had an example that showed that it required the actual full filename, path, and extension of the stack.

I got it working, finally.
