Screen Postion???

[Eric Chatonet]

Hi Ban,

You could try to set the position of your stacks relative to the  
screenRect value in a preOpenStack handler in your main stack.
For instance:

on preOpenStack
   local tCurLoc
   -----
   put the screenLoc into tCurLoc
   set the loc of this stack to tCurLoc
   repeat with i = 1 to 5
     add x to item 1 of tCurLoc -- horizontal co-ordinate
     add y to item 2 of tCurLoc -- vertical co-ordinate
     set the loc of stack  item i of  "MySubstack1, MySubstack2, etc"  
to tCurLoc
   end repeat
end preOpenStack

Such a handler will present the main stack centred on- screen and the  
others in cascade according to x and y values.
Of course, you can change all that to suit your needs (working for  
instance with the screenRect too).
It's just to get you the idea.
