So, there I am, merrily making a stack using LiveCode 7.0.5 with 3 cards
(sophisticated stuff), and I wish to have each of the cards with a
different backgroundColor.
Setting the colour of card 1 via the prefs palette was easy, as was
setting the colour of card 2 via the prefs palette, HOWEVER
setting the colour of card 3 via the prefs palette resulted in card 2
ALSO ending up that colour
(i.e. cards 2 and 3 have the same backgroundColor)
which is a pain in the b*m.
I'm assuming where you wrote "prefs palette" you meant "Inspector
palette", yes?
I'm unable to reproduce this. Whether through the Inspector or via
script, when I set the backgroundColor of a card no others are affected.
I went further to navigate to different cards and set each to their own
backgroundColor, leaving one alone as a control for this experiment. In
all cases the cards retained the colors I expected.
Are you sure you were setting that property for the card and not the stack?
Remember that by default the Inspector is dynamic, and will change its
display as the user context changes. So if you open it for card
properties but then select an object on the card, it'll change its
controls for those to set the properties of the selected object.
Similarly, if you open it to edit properties of a given card but then
navigate to a different card, the Inspector will change to show stack
properties, since the card you'd opened it for is no longer part of the
current context.
This dynamic behavior can be overridden with the lock icon in the
upper-right of the Inspector window if needed, but the default is that
it's dynamic. Note that the object it's working on is reflected in the
Inspector window's title bar, so you can see when this context changes.
If you have a recipe for this please post it here, but at the moment the
recipe given doesn't reproduce the issue here in either v7.0.6rc3 or
6.7rc2 (the only two versions I have in my Ubuntu launcher).
