Inks and QT players?
I would like to be able to use ink effects with players, and QT. Not really sure this is possible. Thought it might be with "alwaysbuffer" set to true but this freezes the video on my G4/OS9 system.

Both seem to work fine here, though of course QT doesn't do inks so only the border of the player honors the setting.

Just curious for now, though I'd be a lot richer if I could write internet aware aps for the new game consoles -:) This is the MetaCard mailing list. Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/metacard%40lists.best.com/ Info: http://www.xworlds.com/metacard/mailinglist.htm
Mac Menus
Time for another dumb question... How does one name the default menu item that appears under the Apple menu on MacOS? I assumed this was done by setting the name of the button (menu) contents, which I've renamed "About Myapp...", yet the menu continues to appear as "About..." when *not* running under the editor. No doubt I'm missing something but I couldn't find an answer in the archives (using version 2.2.x).

And Now for Another MetaCard Moment
I have been working like crazy on an educational project. This set of mathematics exercises required some intricate programming -- particularly since I have the Starter Kit. Very heavy use of "do" and "send." These things worked quite well. I set up my problem set with a "Start" button, which contained a few handlers designed to allow problem checking and new problem generation. To keep the well-meaning student from clicking the "Start" button a second time, I disabled it upon clicking. The new problem set started up fine -- then froze. No, the program did not freeze, but the problem that should have been generated next wasn't found. I checked my code time and again, only to come up more and more frustrated. Then I realized I was trying to "send" to a handler in a disabled button. Not only does disabling a button keep it from receiving a mouseup message, it prevents it from receiving ANY messages! It took a while. But I found it, and it made sense. So I rerouted a couple of items. This set of exercises is complete, and I am ready to proceed to the next set. And it works great! By the way -- this is the first time I have essentially had more than one thing going on at the same time. A timer is counting down at the same time other actions are occurring! Scott, your instructions on using "send to ... in xxx milliseconds" was incredibly useful. Raymond This is the MetaCard mailing list.

What version of MetaCard are you using? I don't see that here, either with 2.2.5, or one of the 2.3 betas (on the Mac). I wrote two buttons. The first, "bob", had this script: on mouseUp disable me end mouseUp on doIt beep end doIt The second button's script was: on mouseUp send "doIt" to btn "bob" end mouseUp Both before and after clicking "bob" clicking the second button caused "bob" to beep. gc This is the MetaCard mailing list.
