Application Browser

[Ian Dalkin]

This is pretty basic so please bear with me as I ease my way into this:

1. If a create a new stack File>New, and then click it away without saving, it create a footprint in the Application Browser which I can't delete - the AB is now littered with several false starts + the main project. ? How to delete unwanted clutter from the App Browser

2. I'm coming from Hyperstudio > Revolution Media and need a timer to automatically launch when the app starts, flick through 3 splash screens then automatically stop at my main navigation page. I don't know where to start looking for a solution - 'timer' throws up nothing in the dictionery.

Check the preferances; Files & memory

If destoryStack; select close the file or ask. should do it.

hope this helps.

as for 2: you might try the "send in time" command, or the "wait command".
I suggest to use "send in time" for example if you want to go to the next cards every 3 seconds:
in the stack script:

Code: Select all

local theCounter
on startup
  put 1 into theCounter
  send goNextCard to me in 3 seconds
end startup

on goNextCard
  go to next card
  add one to theCounter
  if theCounter <= 3 then
    send goNextCard to me in 3 seconds
  end if
end goNextCard
