AW: open substack flickering despite lockscreen

[Phil Jimmieson]

Hi Tiemo,
Add a preopenstack handler to the stack that you want to display modally, and in this handler, set the location you want the stack to occupy.
When the stack opens up, before you see it it positions itself in the location you supplied, so:

on preopenstack
  global tLocX,tLocY  --or some other way of passing the location you want - a custom property of the stack perhaps?
  set the left of stack "lizenzinfo" to tLocX
  set the top of stack "lizenzinfo" to tLocY 
end preopenstack


then when you use the command


    modal stack "lizenzinfo" 


your stack will be displayed at tLocX and tLocY
