Description

Use the dynamicPaths property for compatibility with imported HyperCard stacks that rely on HyperCard's dynamic path behavior.

If a stack's dynamicPaths property is true, when a handler in that stack uses the go or find command to go to a card other than the original card, that destination card's message path is inserted into the message path as long as the handler is on that card.

If the dynamicPaths is false, the message path does not change even when a handler visits another card.

The dynamicPaths property of stacks imported from HyperCard is set to true by default.
