SOLVED - Big problem - substack not opening!!! Help!!!

Post by admin12 » Sun Jul 31, 2011 8:17 pm

I just got done creating some massive substacks and now they won't open when clicked. On top of that, Live Code is acting very sluggish ever since I started working on the substacks.

How do I get them back???? I cannot afford to re-do it. My backups are also the same. Also, how do I get so many of the stacks that are in the application browser out of there?

:idea: Maybe there's some code causing this to happen? Have you tried suppressing messages before you open your stack??

Happened to me when I was looking around and playing with every setting in LiveCode

View | (untick) LiveCode UI elements in stack

If it doesn't solve the sub-stack issue restart LiveCode.
Still not solved then reboot.

Certainly fixed my issue.

I deduced it was too much in memory.
All my best,

I fixed it. Turned out it was opening the substack somewhere else, so I clicked on the taskbar and right clicked on the image of the substack (windows 7) and chose "open maximized" - it opened up and then I dragged it onto the desktop. Somehow, that fixed that problem.

It scared me guys. I had a deadline looming (tomorrow) and all of a sudden I could not work on the substacks.

Thanks for the help. You guys are great!

Mike
