deleting files
Hi folks, i found an irritating behaviour, when deleting files in a repeat-loop. Fortunately i found a solution fr that, too. In case someone is interested: btn-script: ... set the directory to soundordner() get the files repeat with i = 1 to the num of lines of it if there is a file (soundordner() line i of it) then delete file (soundordner() line i of it) end if end repeat ... With that script, i had to click the btn several times to get rid of ALL the files in that folder. (?) (Yes, i even waited a couple of minutes, but 1 file was always left in that folder. Now i added just 1 short wait-statement and the files are gone with ONE click. ... repeat with i = 1 to the num of lines of it if there is a file (soundordner() line i of it) then delete file (soundordner() line i of it) wait 5 ##!!! end if end repeat ... Maybe this is helpful to others, too. (Can somebody explain why this workaround is necessary???)

If memory serves, you can let the MetaCard Corp. decrypt a stack for some money, but only if you didn't make a standalone of it.

Re: HTMLText MC suggestions
Rodney Tamblyn wrote/ schreef: 1. It would be good if MC would support font face tags with multiple fonts that editors like Dreamweaver commonly insert, eg: font face=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif At present MC will ignore these and use the default font instead. It should at least try to use the first font listed in the tag. 2. MC should returns in HTML imports, at present it seems to add extra space where the return was: Agreed. #swap out Dreamweaver multiple font selections repeat until offset(Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif,data) = 0 get offset(Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif,data) delete char it+7 to it+37 of data end repeat #delete return chars, as MC adds space where these are found repeat until offset(return,data) = 0 delete char offset(return,data) of data end repeat why not: replace Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif with Verdana in data -- and: replace return with empty in data -- or the whole thing even with: put replaceText(replaceText(data,return,),Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif,Verdana) -- I have the starter kit, so I've to be short, you know...

Metacard interface for ACIUS 4D Database
Has anyone ever gotten Metacard to read the data from an ACIUS 4D data base data file? I am just interested in reading it for now. The database data file is on a server on the LAN.

Messages and Scope
In the documentation metaTalk Reference (111) Messages by Object : Not that objects that contain other objects can get messages from any of these objects, because if a message is not handled by an objects script, it is passed up to its owner. so if you click on a button , and there is no mouseDown handler, but the CARD to which it belongs had a mouseDown handler, then the card handler is used. so far so good. messages pass from objects to those objects that contain it until one of them contains a handler that does not call the pass procedure. i created a an object (a group of 3 atomic graphical elements) and gave it a script. the object had clearly defined boarders. the script included a mouseDown handler. clicking ANYWHERE on the card called that objects handler. Is this defined as correct behavior? thankyou robin-david hammond Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/metacard@lists.runrev.com/ Info: http://www.xworlds.com/metacard/mailinglist.htm Please send bug reports to [EMAIL PROTECTED], not this list.

Is this defined as correct behavior? In the HyperCard model, each card resides in a background. Since this is the model upon which MC is based, I assume it uses the same object hierarchy model (even though MC bkgnds are different animals from HC bkgnds). That's why I would say you're experiencing correct behavior from MC. Supporting evidence: if you have a stack where a given bkgnd is shared by more than one card, open it and type in the message box: answer the number of cards in bg 1 Regards, Phil Davis thankyou robin-david hammond Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/metacard@lists.runrev.com/ Info: http://www.xworlds.com/metacard/mailinglist.htm Please send bug reports to [EMAIL PROTECTED], not this list.
