Check the htmlText in the the reference for more information.

For example: I have a series of cards in a stack that use the same header imagery at the top of each card (in a shared group). I'd like to use a localized visual effect on the lower portion of the cards, to update the content that appears in that region, without affecting the header images. Currently there's no way to do this except by placing all the images/data on a single card and hiding/showing the desired content. Why limit this effect to a single card? Why not allow the use of MC's card structure to organize content for transitions (visual effects)? OK, this is untested, untried, etc. Make your header another stack (say a substack). Show it as a palette with decorations set to empty so it can't move and set its loc on the stack where you want it. You should be able to use the visual effects on the card without affecting the image. At least try it and let me know!

Odd Title Behavior?
I'm seeing what I think is odd behavior when saving a stack as a 2.3 standalone on Windows. The titlebar of the standalone shows up with the stack name, not the stack title. Under the MC editor, the stack title displays correctly. I've saved the stack three times now to confirm that I do have a title applied to the stack. I used the answer dialog in the standalone to confirm the stack title is present. And if I use brute force and set the title of the stack to itself in a preOpenStack handler, the stack's title shows up as garbage characters. The style of this stack is a standard topLevel window. Am I missing something with regard to how stack titles are supposed to work?

Exporting a GIF file from a card
Is it possible to export a card image object to a GIF file? The only thing on exporting I found in the help files was a reference to a PBM format file. Ultimately I want to make the white areas of a card image transparent and I believe I can only do that via a GIF file with transparency turned on. I want to create a series of GIF files from my cards and then I will go through and set the transparency colors on each file. After that I will import these modified GIF files back into their stack, replacing the previous images.

Re: Odd Title Behavior?
Recently, I wrote: I'm seeing what I think is odd behavior when saving a stack as a 2.3 standalone on Windows. The titlebar of the standalone shows up with the stack name, not the stack title. I figured out the problem -- I'm using Tuviah's external collection in the standalone and the DLL wasn't present in the same directory. Strange that it should effect the stack title though. Still diggin' on those useful externals -- thanks Tuviah.

Re: Limit Visual Effect?
On 5/8/00 9:47 PM, Scott Rossi [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: A good point -- the problem effects are those that involve movement. I used dissolve in an example to illustrate the syntax, but the fact remains it would be useful to limit the results of an effect between card transitions, not just on a single card. A transition limited to a particular rectangle would be nice; another option would be a transition limited to objects not common to the two cards. I.E., assuming the cards share all the same backgrounds, the transition would affect only card objects. This again would only affect the "moving" transitions, but it would be different from limiting the transition to a rectangle, because, for a push, for example, some objects that made the transition might move over/under objects that didn't move because they were common to the two cards. I don't think what I just said was very clear... gc Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/metacard%40lists.best.com/ Info: http://www.xworlds.com/metacard/mailinglist.htm Please send bug reports to [EMAIL PROTECTED], not this list.
Re: field height and group height
This one is slowly driving me insane. Say I have a group with two fields in it - one is a heading, and the other is a column below that. And I want the column field to be really, really tall... as in a height of 1635. And to top it all off, I want to make a group out of the two fields, and make the group scrollable (because my stack is only 400 tall.) I have not been able to do this. Every time I quit out of my stack and then come back, the field gets resized smaller. If I try to set the height of the column field on openCard, it doesn't work... it extends the field both higher and lower, and covers the heading field. Arrgh. Why does MetaCard by default shrink fields that are over a certain height? And is there a way to defeat this? Set lockLocation to true for both. r Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/metacard%40lists.best.com/ Info: http://www.xworlds.com/metacard/mailinglist.htm Please send bug reports to [EMAIL PROTECTED], not this list.
