Answer Dialog in Stack now

[Erik Beugelaar]

Hi Bob,

Did you take into account the release notes (LiveCode 9.4) about Standalone Building?

StandaloneBuilding
The standalone builder has always needed to close the stacks it builds for reasons pretty deeplyin
grained in the code. 

However this causes a few problems, for example:
- values in script locals become empty
- behaviors are broken when the parent script is on / in a stack which closes

As an attempt to improve this situation, the code that locks messages when closing and openingstacks for standalone builds has been removed. 
This means that where previously mainstacks
would not receive any of the (pre)open* and close* messages (e.g. preOpenStack, openStack, openCard, closeStack etc) during standalone build, they now do.

If this causes problems for your stack, you can exit from the handler if standalone building is inprogress:

on closeStack    
	if the environment is "development" and \      
	there is a stack "revStandaloneProgress" and \      
	the mode of stack "revStandaloneProgress" > 0 then        
		exit closeStack    
	end if
end closeStack

LiveCode 9.0.4 Release Notes 5/10/192

Maybe this will help.

Kind regards,
Erik

Also, the standalone builder altered all the paths to my stackFiles as though they were in the same folder as the stack itself. They are not.

I’m just going on record here to say the standalone builder at present is completely unusable. I’ll file a support ticket.

Okay crisis temporarily averted. For whatever reason the Standalone Builder copied several Livecode UI stacks as substacks of my Mainstack! THAT’S NOT SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN!!!!!

Hi all.

I just created a standalone for a new project for the first time. Now every time I open it, it complains that there is already and answer Dialog stack in memory! What’s worse, any time I use the form Answer Password I can see what I type!!! Livecode Devs, MAKE IT STOP!!! You cannot POSSIBLY expect new users to deal with this.

How do I “purge” my stack of the errant Answer Dialog?
