It's hard to say without seeing your setup, but it sounds like the
handlers are responding to all stacks rather than just the one you want.
That would imply that the stack script is in use, or that your other
"parent" stacks are actually substacks of the main one.
If the parent stack that should respond has only one card, the easiest
way to handle that is to put the suspend/resume handlers into the first
card. That way they will only trigger for that stack. If it has several
cards then the handlers do need to go into the stack script, and you
should add a check to be sure the clicked stack is the correct parent
before taking any action.

Hey Ya'll,
I have a window that has "child windows" that are to be hidden when the
parent window is not the current focus, but need to float above the parent
window when the parent window is in focus.
I have tried leveraging suspend and resume to handle hiding and showing
these child palette windows and this works fine when minimizing and
restoring windows.
However, this fails when you click the title bar of another parent window.
the child palette windows just stay in view. There are other things I can
click get it to act like this as well.
Can anyone recommend a better way to do this? Below are my suspend and
resume handlers.
the childStacks property referred to below is simply a list of the stacks
the parent window has launched. It loops through them to see if they still
exist and hides or shows them if they do exist.
on suspendStack
put "suspend"
put the childStacks of me into sChildStacks
put the mouseStack into sClickedStack
if sClickedStack contains "load" or sClickedStack contains "scale" then
exit suspendStack
end if
repeat for each line ChildStack in sChildStacks
if ChildStack is among the lines of the OpenStacks then
lock messages
set the bottom of stack ChildStack to the bottom of this stack
set the right of stack ChildStack to the right of this stack
if the visible of stack ChildStack is true then
hide stack ChildStack
end if
unlock messages
end if
end repeat
pass suspendStack
end suspendStack
on resumeStack
put "resume"
put the childStacks of me into sChildStacks
repeat for each line ChildStack in sChildStacks
if ChildStack is among the lines of the OpenStacks then
lock messages
set the bottom of stack ChildStack to the bottom of this stack
set the right of stack ChildStack to the right of this stack
if the visible of stack ChildStack is false then
show stack ChildStack
end if
unlock messages
end if
end repeat
pass resumeStack
end resumeStack
