I have a splash stack that loads and calls the main stack before closing.
While the splash is being displayed the preopen handler in my main stack asks
for a file to locate.
Once located it then loads and processes the file before it takes over.
The processing takes some time and I have been trying to work out a way of
informing the user of what it taking place.
I have a field on the splash stack which contains info text for the user and I
would like to change this text as the processing is going on.
I thought I could use something like this...
put "Extracting epub...." into mupdate
send "updateme mupdate" to stack "splash"
wait 0 milliseconds with messages
at different places within the processing handler and it would send the text
off an update the splash stack field.
(updateme is a handler in the splash stack script which simply enters "mupdate"
into the field.)
Obviously this doesn't work.
First, can I do what I want?
Second, where am I going wrong?
Any help would be appreciated.
James
