Writing a file remotely
Hi Everyone, I'm tinkering with a stack that I hope will write data from one Mac to another. I thought I should be using put fld "Data To Be Sent" into \ URL "file://domain.name.ca/Distant Drive Name/Desktop Folder/Drop Box/fileName" where Drop Box is a folder on the receiving Mac with read and write file sharing privileges enabled over TCP/IP. I'm obviously doing something wrong in my muddling, and I imagine I have to establish a connection between the two machines first, but I'm not sure how. Any suggestions?

I see. I guess my HyperCard background caused me to misinterpret what I read in the docs. In HyperCard, a field does not loose selection when going to another card and back.

Re: list problems
Robert, You probably have "toggle hilites" checked on; this would explain the behavior you're getting. To get a basic "select one" list field, you should have the default options that MC puts on a field once you have checked "listBehavior": traversalOn (true), lockText (true), autohilite (true), listBehavior (true) and sharedText (true). All other properties on the Behavior tab are left unchecked. Technically, you only need the lockText, autoHilite and listBehavior checked, but it doesn't hurt to have the other two (traversalOn and sharedText) turned on unless they cause you problems. As to your other comments - switching from browse to pointer tool (switching from edit to run) or going to another card forces the object with the current focus to lose focus, so there's nothing technically wrong with the way MC is acting. If you need to store the current selections so that when a card is displayed it will display the selections properly, you can store the hilitedLines in a custom property of the list field and then restore it on openCard.

Re: More Quicktime problems
I've run into a very similar thing when I switched to 2.4 and was messing with it over the weekend. I have found a workaround which seems to work ok, but I will still report this as a bug. The problem, I think, comes when the player checks its own size...and it returns the size - the controller height...so when it sets the rect of the new movie (I am assuming that you are swapping movies into one player)...it sets it to the smaller size. Repeated calls shrinks it by 16 or so pixels each time until you have a lot of very short, fat people in your movie :) So, a couple of things to try: 1. Do not call show player if the player is visible. It will cause the player to walk down the screen. If lockLocation is on, this will also shrink it. If this doesnt work, try.. 2. Set locklocation to false, and set the fileName of the movie to empty when you are done with it...and before you set the fileName to something else. This seems to alleviate most size reporting bugs. BUT, it can cause flashing. -ml > > >Ken Ray a Ècrit: > >> Did you set the lockLocationi of the player object to true? >> > >I tried both options (true & false), among many other things >(like setting the filename of the player, as well as its height & >width every time I want to start it), but problem remains... > >BTW I forgot to mention that problem occurs not only with >.mov files, but also with .swf... > >Thanks.

list problems
I can't figure out what I can be doing wrong. Still MC 2.3.2, I have a scrolling field that has "list behavior" set, no multiple hilites and no noncontig hilites. However, when clicking on different lines I get multiple lines selected, contig and noncontig. Furthermore, a field with the list behavior is supposed to remember its selection after loosing focus. However, going to another card and returning or just switching to edit mode and back to run mode causes the selection to vanish.
