Unreliable Cd ID of SubStacks ?

Hi,
since time immemorial I use
Code: Select all
lock screen
put the Long ID of this cd into CdID
go stack XX
-- do something
put the Number of this cd into CdNu
go CdID
Today I a put this script into a button of a substack "B" of stack "A":
Code: Select all
on FetchCdNum StackChoice
lock screen
put the Long ID of this cd into CID
go stack StackChoice
put the Number of this cd into CdNu
go CID
select line CdNu of fld "ToC" -- of stack "B" -- of stack "A"
unlock screen
end FetchCdNum
and get this error message: stack "B": execution error at line 42 (Chunk: no such object), char 1.
If I remove the first "--" in line 7 of script 2 I get the wanted result.
Regards
Peter

Which version of the IDE and which Os are you running?

Hi bogs,
I run a Mac Pro mid 2012 with macOS Sierra 10.12.6 and LiveCode 9.0.0 build 15017.
Thanks for your interest.

end FetchCdNum
FWIW you don't need to go to a card to get its properties, e.g.:
Code: Select all
on FetchCdNum StackChoice
return the number of this cd of stack StackChoice
end FetchCdNum

Ah well, I can't simulate it
I was going to take a running pass at seeing if I could but 10.6.3 is the end of OSX line for me, and I couldn't get 9 to run in it after installing heh

Hi Richard,
thank you very much for that fine stratagem. Now I can finish my central ToC stack, which shows the card list of the current MouseStack and hilites the line of its recent card.
Best regards
Peter
