Was: How to go to newly cloned card? shoudl be "Timing clone issues"

[Thomas McGrath III]

Mark,

Actually, I ended up having to do the same. I forgot just before.
It seems to me that the handler starts with no card and then creates a 
card but does not yet see it. so by leaving and going to another 
function it now 'sees' the card and can act upon it. I think the send 
in time just makes sure it has time to load the new card.

I have started to treat most of my scripts this way by putting my 
functions outside of my running script. It seems to help in a lot of 
situations.

Glad you figured it out.

Tom
