"Badge" in answer modal?

[Jan Schenkel]

Hi Jim,

Try and add your logic to the very end of the 'preOpenStack' handler.
That handler fiddles with the width and top of the stack so many times that you might as well let it do its thing and then move it yourself at the very end.
I tried putting the following line in and it seemed to work on my Mac:
##
set the left of this stack to 100
##

Jan,

I thought I would take you up on your challenge to be adventurous and try to alter the loc of the answer dialog box by changing the script of the box.

By script, I got the script of card 1 of stack "dialog box", found the line in the PreopenStack handler where the loc is set, i.e.:

    set the loc of this stack to the screenloc

I then added 200 to the second item of the screenloc, altered that line in the script, and reset the script of the box.

As a check, I then got the script of the box and I could see that the new loc had been applied,

I then called answer again but it continued to show in at the original screenLoc. The new script didn't seem to take.

Is there a way to change the loc of the answer dialog box? There are times when it is just very inconvenient.

I seem to recall a discussion of this topic some time ago.
