field behavior
hello, i have a field (field name: addList)in a stack with the script: on mouseUp select the clickline put the selectedtext into x go to card x put "something" into field 1 of card x end mouseUp and in the behavior section of the field property, i have all these behavior listed below checked (on): -traversal on -lock text -auto hilite -list behavior everything works fine, even after i converted it to a standalone. The problem is: when i burned in onto a cd-rom, and running the standalone from the CD, it stopped working. nothing happens when a line in the field "addList" is clicked. it just selects/hilite the line, but didn't go to the card it supposes to go. I then took the cd and went to a different machine, and copy the standlone onto the hard-disk, and everything works fine. it just refuses to work correctly when running directly from the cd. Is there anything i miss here or did i not do something correctly when burning the app to the cd-rom? please help. i am using metacard 2.3.2 on win 98 machine, and a sony 8x12x32 cdrw, and the nero-burning rom cd-writing software. thank you. --rosli p.s. the people i showed the app to were so impressed with the power of metacard, but i got a call back from them right away after they reached their office and start running the app on their machine straight from the cd. __ Do You Yahoo!?

RE: FromSocketToField
Hi Xavier, here is the script i have learned and modified from a lot of what have been posted previously on this list. This is a great list with a lot of kind, cooperative helpful people. hope you can use it somehow. it works on a one machine(client) to a server test. haven't tried with more than that. let us/me know if you try it with more. (can anyone show how to do this with more than one open socket?) Here's how it works: The client send some data/text to the server, and get the message that the data has been/has not been received at certain time of the day. At the same time, the client will get to see back almost immediately the latest update of data on the server. The server reads/accept the the data/text that is sent by the client. What you do/process with the data/text is up to you then. It sent the latest update back to the client just to show that the new data has been added. Here's the script: on the client side: on mouseUp open socket to "1.1.1.1:8080" with message gotcha --change 1.1.1.1 to the appropriate server address end mouseUp on gotcha s put field "a" into var1 (--text to be sent to server) write var1 & crlf & (the long time) to socket s (--reading feedback from the server) read from socket s until empty put it into field "b" if last line of field "b" = "RESULT OK"&&the date then put "Data sent successfully at:."&the long time after the last line of field "b" put "Looks like we are online at"&&(the long time) else answer "Looks like the server is not responding." end if close socket s end gotcha On the server side: on openCard accept connections on port 8080 with message "newconnect" if the result is not empty then put the result checkData end openCard on checkData put field 1 into field "b" send "checkData" to this card in 1 seconds end checkData on newconnect s read from socket s until empty (--text sent from the client) put it into fld 1 put field 1 into var2 write var2&cr&cr&"RESULT OK " && the date to socket s (--to show back to the client the latest update sent to the server) close socket s end newconnect feel free to add/modified and it will be great if it can be posted back to the list. cheers.-rosli __ Do You Yahoo!?

printing cards (beginners Q?)
hello everyone, -I really need some help on how to print 2 cards onto 1 page of an A4 or letter size paper -The 2 cards I have are with the rect of 0,0,640,460 each. -I've set the printmargin to 36,36,36,36 from within a script -I've even set the margin to all sides 36,36,36,36 (points) from the page setup menu item. -I've tried open printing but the result was: both cards got truncated at the right side (at least 1 inch), and the bottom of the second cards got cut off by an inch or so. i feel like i m running into something i don't have any ideas of, or obviously there's something totally wrong that i did...Any help is greatly appreciated.
