Description | Use the start using command to use a stack's script as a library for frequently-used handlers. The start using command places a stack's script into the message path after the current stack and before any objects in the backScripts. When you start using a stack, the libraryStack message is sent to the stack. When a standalone application is running, it can insert up to fifty stacks into the stacksInUse. This limit is set by line 3 of the scriptLimits function. When using the development environment, you can insert any number of stacks into the message path. | ||||||
