Handler:

on resumeStack
statements
end resumeStack

HyperCard sends the resumeStack message to the current card when the stack’s window becomes active after being inactive (for example, when the user clicks in a window).

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

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