I think the problem is having very many cards—in the thousands, each with text,
images, etc.—that I experience slowdowns. The stack taking a long time to open,
save, go to cards, and just wanting to freeze for awhile.
When I changed my method to just a few cards with the text and the

Are you saying that LC is better suited to just throw everything onto
1 card then turn on&off the visibility of groups/etc.?

Do you mean to also keep a track of my own card id’s and
then eliminate the ones I do not want in the list?
That would probably work but I think I will just write the
code differently for this program. It is not a big problem
but the ending up where I did not expect just needs to
be fixed and is
One way to do this is to have a single function do the pushing and popping so
it always knows where it is.

I don’t have very many cards but eventually I end
up somewhere I didn’t expect and if I cleared the
list it would take care of the problem. But if I take
the time to write the code better I can solve the
problem without using push and pop.

I have tried push and pop before but you really have to keep track of the
pushed cards or you end up somewhere unexpected. I'm still not sure what the
utility of having lots and lots of cards is, if that is what you are doing,
especially considering that the LC engine is not optimized to use tha
Thank you for the info!
I think I am going to rewrite the code to work
better and eliminate using push card for this
instance.

You could try
on mouseUp
put "home.livecodescript""e into tA
repeat
pop card into tB
if tB ends with tA then exit repeat
end repeat
e
