Open Stack script

[Glenn Boyce]

I have an openStack script that runs when I open a substack. I only want it to work when the main stack opens. How do I limit it to working just with the main stack?

cheers

The following should work in your mainstack script:

Code: Select all

on openStack
   if the short name of this stack = "MainStackName" then
      -- the specific instructions you want
      pass openStack
   end if
end openStack

... “MainStackName” of course being the name you gave your main stack. The “pass openStack” is perhaps worth including if later you want to add instructions which only execute when opening substacks, e.g.:

Code: Select all

on openStack
   if the short name of this stack = "MainStackName" then
      -- the specific instructions you want
      pass openStack
   end if
   -- instruction when opening substack
   -- instruction when opening substack
end openStack

Hi Glenn,,

you can also put the "openstack" and "preopenstack" handlers into the script of the first card of that (main-) stack!
This way only the mainstack will get these messages (which do also get sent to the first card of the stack!).

That's what I do. It's simpler than adding an IF condition, and keeps initialization handlers limited to a single script that can't interfere with anything else.

Once again I learn something new. The Rev forum is both an education and an inspiration.
