iOS - closeCard, going back to main stack and visual effects when using a substack

[Chris Sheffield]

Tom,

The only way I've found to get visual effects to work when moving from stack to stack is to do something like this:

visual effect "push left"
go cd 1 of stack "Substack One"
close stack "MainStack"

I know it seems odd, but it's the only way I've found to make it work reliably. Give it a try. The trick was to close the stack that I'm coming from. It doesn't seem like this should be necessary...

As for the problem with closeCard not firing, I'm not really sure what the problem would be unless there's some sort of error occurring in that handler that's preventing it from completing.

Good luck!

Chris

It should delete the map created in Substack One by accessing the closeCard before moving on to Substack Two. This does work when The Substack One is a main stack and I am going from card to card.
