RE: Launching a local file in the default browser
Richard, you posted this to the MC list last year under the header : Found it: You have to explicitely tell the Finder, like this: put "tell application ""e&"Finder""e&cr&"open ""e& \ tFilePath "e&cr&"end tell" into s do s as AppleScript See: http://lists.runrev.com/pipermail/metacard/2002-January/000569.html But I just checked it and it doesn't work for me. I'll keep looking...

I know ppl who build huge projects by re-downloading again and again Flash MX (or other apps) evaluation versions every 30 days... Telling the truth I downloaded the Rev 2.01 (AFAIR) about 2 weeks ago, but haven't downloaded the key yet, as I'm not sure I'll have enough time within the next 30 days to explore every feature...

Re: Drawers

I may not understand what you mean, but when I use the "drawer" command, the stack animates and slides out exactly like the ones in Apple's applications. There is a smooth glide from closed to open. The "drawer" command slides the stack out. A "hide stack myStack" command slides it back in. Once the stack is set to be a drawer, you can just use "show stack myStack" to slide it open again. There doesn't seem to be any need to manually adjust the position of the stack as it slides open. The stack also appears "underneath" the main stack. This is all with version 2.1 beta, of course. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | [EMAIL PROTECTED] HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com ___ metacard mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard
MC in RR
Having been 'out of things' for well over a year, I am delighted to see how much RR has evolved since 'the early days'. So much discussion on the 'take-over' and Kevin's reasuring post would seem to pave my way to adopt the RR approach BUT Q1. Can I still use my MetaCard stacks in the RR GUI? Or do they have to be 'translated'? Or do I simply change the suffix? Q2. Can I use RR in 'spartan metaCard mode' and continue to 'roll my own'? Q3. I have been happy with mc2.3 and mc2.4 for ages and most of the new features have not really impacted on me (under the rule of appropriateness whereby 'Just because you can does not mean you have to'). As my subscription has lapsed, I am a tad confused about the upgrade/cross-grade/transfer licence and price. What's the cost to buy into the new equivalent? Not much FAQ-wise on the RR website on the MC transfer implications, but I apologise in advance if I have missed posts covering the above. Any pointers would be appreciated, on or off list. Hey-ho... I suddenly feel rather old. And I wasn't two weeks ago. /H _ Hugh Senior The Flexible Learning Company Consultant Programming & Software Solutions Fax/Voice: +44 (0)1483.27 87 27 Email: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: www.flexibleLearning.com

I'm not sure how to extract the above, but I'm pretty sure that any HTML file without specific creator/type info will automagically open in the default browser -- if this is your concern you shouldn't need to worry about it working.

Re: MC or Intel precision?
Well, that was confusing enough (coming from C++/MC debugging comparisons!) Thanks a million.00.1!
