Trace keyword/property

[Thomas J McGrath III]

Jan,

I tried using the script editor to place a break point in the 
"preOpenStack" handler and nothing happens. In fact anywhere in the 
stack script did not work. Only at the card level was I able to get a 
break point.

I tried method two of typing breakpoint and nothing happens either. 
here is my script:

I want to see why the card 1 custom property pBeenVisisted is still 
true but the other cards pBeenVisited are false. I want the user to 
hear a voiceover only during the first visit of each card in the stack 
but when they go back to a card they would not have to hear it again. 
But if they quit the app and restart it then they would hear the 
voiceover again. I have a set the pBeenVisited of me to True in a "on 
closeCard".  I would like to track this down but can't get the debugger 
to work in the openStack or preOpenStack handlers in the main stack??

  I can't get the breakpoint to work here:

on openStack
   breakpoint
   put the short name of this stack into lmystackname
   if lmystackname is "UnityCD" then
     repeat with c = 1 to the number of cards in stack "UnityCD"
       set the pBeenVisited of card c of stack "UnityCD" to False
     end repeat
   end if
end openStack


Thanks

Tom
