My coding style has evolved to trying to put code in Libraries, Stack and Cards. I only put stubs that call other handlers in the objects themselves. This is the code organization part.
I was putting my library stacks in as substacks and when I started seeing the naming conflict messages I started looking into where these should go. I always seemed to have problems with “start using” unless the stack was already in memory, so I still feel that I am missing something relating to the basics loading stacks. Bill, are you building your stand alone yet? This is where I really started to ask questions. Why is there an option to move substacks into individual stacks? When I made everything substacks I really didn’t think too much about the standalone builder. Now that I have both I feel I need to understand what is going on and why. -= Mike On Apr 19, 2014, at 6:01 PM, Earthednet-wp <proth...@earthednet.org> wrote: > Michael, > Thank you for asking this question.
