"Dude,

Just use my function posted last week:

function isStackCurrentlyVisibleOnAnyMonitor pStack
 --> pStack IS THE SHORT NAME OF STACK
 if pStack is among the lines of windows() then
  if not the vis of stack pStack then return false
  if the blendlevel of stack pStack = 100 then return false
  repeat for each line L in the screenrects
     if the topLeft of stack pStack is within L then return true
     if the topRight of stack pStack is within L then return true
     if the bottomLeft of stack pStack is within L then return true
     if the bottomRight of stack pStack is within L then return true
  end repeat
  return false
 else
  return false
 end if
end isStackCurrentlyVisibleOnAnyMonitor"

2 points here:

1. [OT] where I come from the word 'Dude' carries fairly negative connotations (well, maybe that was your intention),

2. SCREENRECTS - plural was introduced in Runtime Revolution 2.7

(i.e. Richmond spent a long time p*ss*ng around with 2.6.1 wondering what he was doing wrong!!!)

This one has probably come up before . . .

Possibly, an itemised table showing what commands are available in each version of Runtime Revolution should be drawn up to spare people with early versions a lot of time, and make them stump up the money for newer versions.

sincerely, Richmond Mathewson.
