In openCard script of the main stack: global gBgColor put 0, 0, 0 into gBgColor
In a button script in a substack: on mouseUp global gBgColor answer color with gBgColor --white is selected put it into gBgColor put gBgColor & cr after msg --255, 255, 255 end mouseUp In the Variables panel below script editor (after it is refreshed), gBgColor is shown to be 0, 0, 0. In the Message box: put gBgColor --0, 0, 0 In other words, the change to a global variable that is made in a substack is not available to the global variable of the same name in a script in the main stack. Just last week I carefully followed the discussion of the use of global variables (and even participated a little by quoting the User Guide on the availability of globals to all substacks), but now I see the same problem that was reported by the original poster. Is it just me now? Or is it the late hour?
