Re: Option menu question
Is it possible to pre-set the selected line of an Option menu? /H Hugh Senior Hi Hugh, What about setting the menuHistory to the line number of the option you want as the default, does this do the trick? e.g. set the menuHistory of button theOptions to thePreset set the label of button theOptions \ to line thePreset of the text of button theOptions this should set the option pick and pre-set the visible selection as well.

Re: 256 Color support

I can't find any function that will return the color bit level. Should I post a bug report or is this something I'm doing wrong. I'm now confused because the button icons display on my computer but on on the old laptop at 256 colors. Sound like a video card issue: the report should be sent to the maker of the video card (see the read me file for the latest version of MC for a comment on this type of issue).

Layering a field over a Movie Player
Is it possible to apply a text field over a player object - in order to see the text? This would be like credits or titles in a movie or video. Once they are layered over the top - it will be easy to apply many neat effects. Any ideas?

Iconic property
I made a new stack called "Test1" containing one button. The script of the button is: on mouseUp set the iconic of this stack to not the iconic of this stack end mouseUp I am running MC 2.3.1 on a Mac. I hoped that clicking the button would iconify the stack using windowshade. I click the button and nothing happens. Using the message box, I type: put the iconic of stack "test1" and I see that the property switches between true and false each time I click the button yet the stack does not minimize using windowshade. I also tried typing into the message box: set the iconic of stack "Test1" to true and again, nothing happens. Am I doing something wrong?

(Which means it can only be controlled by script - mouse interaction with the controller won't work.)

Yes: you're assuming that it's possible for an application to minimize its own windows on the Mac. Turns out it's not, mostly as a result of the fact that "windowshading" is a hack and not really a part of the OS. Indeed, there isn't even any notification given to an application when its windows have been minimized by the user nor any API support for determining if it's been done, so the engine just has to poll one of the window regions any time any event comes in for that window and deal with it then. If there's a silver lining here, it's that Carbon finally provides an API for all of this, which means that eventually this will be supported, if only on systems new enough to support Carbon. Unfortunately Carbon itself is a moving target, and it's possible that it will only work on Mac OS X, and maybe OS 9.X systems that have upgraded to a working version of Carbon (which will be something later than the current 1.2 release ;-) Regards, Scott Philip Chumbley Scott Raney [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.metacard.com MetaCard: You know, there's an easier way to do that...

Re: scroll
How do you place scroll bars on a BACKGROUND so that the entire background with its grouped objects can be scrolled both horizontally and vertically? This is to accomodate viewing a stack in a small screen.

RE: scroll
I rareley use backgrounds. I think they have the same properties as groups so they should have their own vertical and horizontal scrollBars -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, 12 December 2000 1:05 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: scroll How do you place scroll bars on a BACKGROUND so that the entire background with its grouped objects can be scrolled both horizontally and vertically?

Re: scroll
Old argument. Besides, I fell in love with groups and how they operate in MetaCard.
