Jacqueline:
This appears to do the trick. I had other problems too, like locking the screen
before I went to the card that was to display the text. But what you describe
works and now I’m cleaning up the stack.

Bill

The newer, recommended method may work better for you:
lock screen for visual effect [in rect]
- - do stuff
unlock screen with visual effect dissolve

It has always worked fine for me, too. That’s why I’m perplexed. I will also
try older versions of Livecode. I remember that there was an issue with
“showing” in one of the previous versions.

Craig,
Tnx, the reason I did the “do” stuff is because I wanted to programmatically
vary the speed of the dissolve, initially, but it’s probably not necessary
because most of the dissolves are the same. I have a pretty large app and I
