I'm having a big problem with a stack I'm writing. The situation is this: I have functions in one of my backgrounds, which in turn call functions in the stack script, which in turn call functions in the background script (first making sure that the current card is in the correct background). _However_, when I edit the bg script from a certain card in this background (let's call it card "A") and then try to test the script, the stack script has no knowledge of the bg handlers. However, on debugging, I can see that the correct bg is current, AND it works from all other cards in the bg, just not that one! That is, if I have the following handlers/functions in my bg script on DoSomething put DoStackScriptFunc() into xxzzy end DoSomething function ReturnSomeBgThing return athing end ReturnSomeBgThing and if I have the following in my stack script function DoStackScriptFunc if this bg = correct bg then return ReturnSomeBgThing() else return errorVal end DoStackScriptFunc If I call this from card A, then I get a debug break in DoStackScriptFunc() saying "Don't understand 'ReturnSomeBgThing'", even if I'm in the right bg. Again, other cards can access the bg scripts, AND if I quit HC all the cards (including A) work normally. This has happened several times on different card A's (that is, it's not always the same card). Obviously something's getting hosed. Any clues? I just had some RAM and VRAM installed yesterday, but I can't see how that would do it, since the RAM passes all boot tests fine. TMON Pro says the heap is OK, too. I'm stumped. Any HyperCard wizards out there with any ideas?
