I also found that to be true. I first assumed that the order went preopenstack, openstack, preopencard then openCard. When my app went crazy I tested with some answer dialogs and found out that it actually goes preopenstack, preopencard, openstack, opencard. Also the first card is not shown until the preopencard makes it though the entire message path. So one can change the first card to be shown if you for example put "open card 2" in the preopencard of card 1, then the first card to be displayed is card 2 not card 1.

But they should go in stack -> bg -> card order. Do you have a startup handler? If so, it would only fire in a standalone. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
