Controls of Stack

Hi All

Does everyone know that repeat with x=1 to the number of controls of stack y
only enumerates the controls on the current card? Bit of a bugger..eh?

How does one parse all the controls of a stack ensuring that those in a
background only get parsed once unless they are fields with the sharedText
set to false... etc

FYI... I'm trying to develop the basis for a language engine when it wasn't
a requirement for the first version of the program. In the short term I want
to generate a list of objects with visible text. Then I'll search scripts
for ask and answer dialogs and any other hard coded text.

When I have all that I'll create stack file with a custom property set that
can be parsed to set everything for a particular language. Then I'll learn
to translate to ... ;-)

Cheers

Monte
