Re: Option buttons
As was stated before, your other option is to strongly recommend a monitor set to display 16 bit color. Your app will *run* under 256 colors, it just may not run as smoothly. This is standard industry practice. Actually, other than launching, it looks good from 256 to millions. I took great care when creating my graphics to ensure that :-) -- --Shareware Games for the Mac-- http://www.gypsyware.com ___ metacard mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard
Update Mac menubar fails in standalone
The update mac menubar handler I posted here recently fails in a standalone. You cannot do anything in a standalone that tampers with a script. You cannot change a script. You cannot even get a script. You cannot set the script of an object to anything but what it was when saved as a standalone. I wish I'd know that one a month ago! I've now had to redo that entire section of code, ending up with enable/disable. *sigh* The other thing that failed is turning the Option buttons into Cascade buttons. So much code was broken by that change, due to menuHistories and so forth, that I had to set all back to Options buttons and set the LookandFeel to Macintosh. We'll see if it works on Windoze... I am now two weeks late getting this program to my testers. And no programming days till Wednesday.

Hi Mark, That's true for most applications in OS X, but it doesn't appear to be true for MetaCard. The File menu in MetaCard has a Print Card item and the Tools menu has a Print Field item, but neither invokes the OS X print dialog that gives me the Preview or Save as PDF... choice.

You cannot even get a script. You cannot set the script of an object to anything but what it was when saved as a standalone. Is it possible that you password-protected the stack in the standalone? I think you should be able to do all the above provided the stack is not protected. One way to deal with protection is to set the passkey of the stack before accessing scripts. Of course, you can't save anything you do since your stack is part of a standalone. If you're looking to save changes to a stack (ie user prefs, etc) you should keep your data stack separate from the standalone. Again, you can password-protect the data, and as long as you set the passkey appropriately, you should be able to write to the data stack as needed.

Standalones are just stacks with embedded starter kits, and so are limited to 10-line scripts. Pre-existing longer scripts are fine, but any changes have to be within the 10-line limit. I think I'd still go with swapping out the default menubar. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | [EMAIL PROTECTED] HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com ___ metacard mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard

Greg Greg, I see. I thought you were using referring to an app you created. I have not used the print feature from the development tools that come with MC. Sorry, did not read carefully. All apps I create in MC work just fine in this regard. -Mark ___ metacard mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard
