Metalistees,
I am presenting a sequence of cards that come from different stacks. All
the stacks rects are the same size. I want the cards to appear in the
same place on the screen even though they come from different stacks.
Using a third stack as a controlling stack I can access the correct
card in the correct stack, and can use hide/show combinations to view
the stack I want to.
For instance I have stack A with 5 cards, stack B with 4 cards, and stack
C with 6 cards. I want to show the cards in the sequence A2, C3, B4. I
can do this, but the card for the new stack cascades 11 pixels to the
right and 33 pixels down, even if I reset the stack loc after the stack is
open. I guess I can lock the screen and offset the old stack left 11 and
up 33, open the next stack at the desired loc, and unlock the screen, but
that seems like a lot of busywork. Is there some way to defeat the
cascading of stacks as they're opened?
Sincerely,
Clark Parsons
