Location of stack

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Paul,

I just saw your question on the forum. I'll post the same answer there  
and on this list.

The engine knows the actual height of the card only after loading all  
windows, objects, libraries etc. This is easy to solve, by first  
running all default startup messages (preOpenStack, openStack,  
preOpenCard, openCard, openBackground etc.) and changing the window  
size only afterwards. For example:

global gWindowRect

on preOpenStack
   hide this stack
   readPrefs // your handler to read prefs
   send "setWindowSize" to me in 0 millisecs
   pass preOpenStack
end preOpenStack

on setWindowSize
   set the rect of this stack to gWindowRect
end setWindowSize

Instead of a handler that only sets the rect of the window, you could  
also write a handler that does the complete initialisation of your  
project. It is safe to assume that all necesary libraries are  
available when the initialisation handler runs.
