This is normal behaviour. The ways around it are... 1. an empty preopenstack handler in the substack 2. stack specific code in the main stack preopenstack handler
on preopenstack if the short name of me = [mainstack name] then do stuff end if end preopenstack 3. move the preopenstack handler to the card script of the first card of the main stack Hopefully I've got that right.
