I'm very new to Rev and have read that there is a way to change the main stack. I've created a main stack that I realize should be either a sub-stack or a card now. Can I create a new main-stack and apply the other main-stack to it or switch the current main-stack with a different sub-stack?

I would also like to have the sub-stack (when it is selected by a user) to always be on top of the other windows in the program (not the entire computer like when 'systemWindow' is selected.) Is this possible with or without a script and should this window that allows user input be a sub-stack or a card?

Sorry if this is elementary stuff, but I did research this problem a little and came up blank. I am using RevMedia 4.0 on a MAC with Snow Leopard.

Thanks,

If you look at the properties of the stack you want to be the main, there is a drop down list where you can point it to itself as main. Then set any other stacks to point to the correct stack also.

Not sure about your other question tho at the moment.

To make a stack float above the others, but only inside the application, you'll probably want to use the palette command.

Thanks all. This program is going to be great.
