suspendStack

Handler:

HyperCard sends the suspendStack message to the current card when the stack’s window becomes inactive (for example, when the user clicks another card window).

HyperCard sends suspendStack only when it is displaying more than one stack.

Important: HyperCard does not send suspendStack when the user switches to another layer under MultiFinder. (Click Related Topics for more information about the property the suspended.)
