[comp.sys.mac.hypercard] multi-stacks management question

eclement@aragorn.inria.fr (Eric Clement) (01/25/91)

Let me explain briefly the situation :

I use two stacks simultaneousely. Stack A contains main data, stack B additional data. The two stacks are open on the screen. I want that when user goes from one card to another in stack A, stack B updates by going to the appropriate card.

For the moment i do this with this openCard handler in stack A:

on openCard
	if there is a window "B" then
		go to card theCard of stack B
		go back
	end if
end openCard

This works fine but it's really sloooow....

What i tried to do, but without succes until now, is to send a message to stack B without going to it. Something like : send "go to card theCard" to stack B. I don't need to really go to stack B. I just want to update the information displayed. 

I think i have miss something. Thanks for help.
