SplashStack2 is the second version of the SplashStack Main stack (one file only).
How do I install the second version of the of the SplashStack2 Main stack?
- Return to the Download Page, click "Download" - Download is extremely rapid !
- Locate the downloaded ZIP file, which is represented by a single file called "SplashStack2.zip".
Depending on your computer, Operating System and System Parameters, it may be on the deskTop, in the Downloads Folder, in the Documents Folder, etc.
- Unzip the downloaded file. Depending on your computer, Operating System and Browser Preferences, a double-click will normally launch the unZip function.
On Mac OSX Systems, the unzip function is automatic, and will create the unzipped "SplashStack2.rev stack".
If no UnZip application is apparent on your computer, you may download the 7-zip Expander which will do the job admirably.
7-zip exists for Mac and PC platforms. 7-zip may exist on your PC, if so use this !
- The unZip function will create a single file called SplashStack2.rev.
Specifications of this stack
SplashStack2 is a standalone LiveCode Stack (.app or .exe). This is my second version. It calls a specific sub-stack by name (to be modified).
SplashStack2 calls a substack (.rev), in such a manner that modifications to the called stack will be saved on exit from the application.
As the object of the Main Stack is to call the Sub-Stack, it must be relatively transparent and FAST, so that we don't see the
Main-Stack (SplashStack) execution. However, we must provide a means for the user to STOP execution of the "openStack" script, and stay in the
Main Stack, for debug purposes. If the Option (Command) Key is pressed. Don't call the sub-stack. Stay in Main stack for perusal !
