Calling a second card from a button in the first card

Post by bobtimpone » Sun Feb 12, 2012 2:52 pm

Hi All
I have several applications which call the camera .
I would like to call the camera on a separate card then dismiss it when done.
Any idea where in the docs I would find a clue ?

Hi Bob,

sorry, still have problems with "call a second card... and close it"?
What do mean you with "call"?

What I want the user to be able to do is hit a button called camera
this will open a second card with the camera controls.
When they are done they hit the close key

Hi Bob,

hmmm, maybe:

Code: Select all

## Button "camera":
on mouseup
  go cd "the one with the camera controls"
end mouseup
?

Bob...

I think that I am as confused as Klaus about what you want to do. To call the camera use the iphonePickPhoto command... for example

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
   iphonePickPhoto "rear camera"
end mouseUp
You don't have a need to go to another card as the photoPicker is overlaid on top of the card from where it is called.

be well
