Hi. I never use visual effects, but I think you may need to go to the dictionary. One thing it says is: "The visual effect command affects only navigation within a window. If you want to create a transition effect when moving between stacks, use the go...in window form of the go command : visual effect wipe downgo stack Index in window Part 2 -- replaces stack on screen So I think it is a matter of usage. I bet you will find your way through. Craig

I’ trying to hide and show stacks using visual effects. Consider this in a button: on mouseUp wait 1 second set the visible of homeStack() to false lock screen set the visible of homeStack() to true unlock screen with visual effect reveal down very slow breakpoint end mouseUp homestack() simply returns the file path of the main stack, which this button is on. The visual result is indistinguishable from simply showing and hiding the stack.
