template.. invisible container

[j5k]

I have a template I've been working on for a week or so, on and off. My template has a handful of containers all on one page, and a menu to select which ones are visible (I wanted to try a modular layout instead of using pages). I have about 6 containers. One of them is tabbed. The tabbed container is the one giving me issues. I can see it in the list under the project, but do not see it anywhere on the actual page/layout screen.

If I sync with the ipad, and select a menu item designated to display that container, it shows up just fine, on the ipad screen. My issue is that it's completely vanished from the layout screen in the editor, which makes it super difficult to edit . Anyone have any ideas why this is happening?

Thanks!

hi! I've been having to deal with this to.
One way to get around it is to make a monitor object,
and for its value use the show command with a 1 or 0 and object container name.

show(srcslotsoff, 1)

you could add several together to get the job done with one monitor object:
show(cAmpCtl2, 0)+show(cSliderNMathCtl2, 0)

Hi

Have you tried the 'Run' mode available in the Editor?
Hold down the 'E' key and you should be able to navigate your project - allowing you to 'show' the container . .
Or make up a temporary button telling it to 'show' . .
Cheers

I'll give the run mode a try. It happened again on a different template and different container but I think the cause is similar. In the second template, I have a button with a script that shows/hides the problem container. Seems like after I use it once, the hidden container is permanently hidden in the editor, but functions as expected on the iPad app.
