Generic Object References
Does anyone know how to refer to object generically in MC? For example, I'd like to be able to write scripts that look at the handlers/scripts for all objects on a card, e.g. repeat for all objects x in this card switch objectType of x case "field" break case "button" etc. This also raises another area of my ignorance, how do you pass full object references rather than simple names, e.g. formatMyField field "Address" I find myself often resorting to "short name of" and specific handlers or script fragments dedicated to specific object types, when a generic approach would be cleaner and easier!

RE: Colors
Thanks Larry, for the feedback. The program is printing to different printers so I'll looking into the drivers, etc. Philip What graphics cards are used? Are your video drivers up to date? What are the color depths on these various machines? Are you printing to the same printer? Are the computers using the same printer drivers and driver settings?

Fine on the machine with 128Mb. Q1. Is this the required spec for QuickTime 4 with MetaCard? No - officially 16Mb of RAM for QT 4.1.2 We have had some problems with playing movies originally in Autodesk FLC format - one or two freezes there even with 128Mb of RAM. But mostly they play fine. How big are the movies? - tossing them all into RAM may be a problem. Over-speedy decompression seems to be the root of it all. We (Dave Cragg and I) are still experimenting. And what platform? Latest crash was on Windows 98, but we had some early crashes on the Mac (with 193Mb of RAM!) because of doing things on preOpenCard, so I stopped that. Only do things in or after openCard. Dave may have more to say. Q2. Do different codecs require different amounts of RAM? No idea. MoviePlayer won't play FLC movies (MS bug) , so we haven't bothered exporting seriously to .avi Argh! This CD is meant to be out of the door now! Know that feeling!

Re: Hyperlinks
I have seen that but I really want to do something so simmilar to teh reference that it would be silly for me not to look at the script. Does anyone know where the mouseClick script is in the reference stack? - Original Message - From: "andu" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 28, 2000 5:43 PM Subject: Re: Hyperlinks Hi all this is probably a pretty pathetic question but I'm wondering if the htmlText property accepts hyperlinks also. I have tried a basic page navigation with bookmarks and there is no result. It seems like the reference stack does this but I cant find the script for it. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Check out "hypertext" in help Index. Has nothing to do with htmlText; html rendered as text in a field doesn't preserve the hyperlinks you would see in a browser, unfortunately.

merryxmas
I just noticed I got infected by merryxmas and even know where from. Someone in the know or someone who knows someone in the know with these script viruses should definitely write a Vaccine for Metacard. The guy who sent me the infected stack should have warned me before not after!

Re: Processing a big data file
What I was trying to say was: a stack processing a big data file could produce some errors without you noticing. The data that you are processing appears to be of some importance. The results may be important, too. How important is it to know that the results are accurate or reliable? I made a suggestion for checking which may be useful or, more likely, could be improved upon.
