Re: filename property
> Has there been a change in the filename property in 2.4.3? This probably isn't related to your problem but, there was an undocumented change to the filename property in the windows version of 2.4.2. Before that version, if you saved a stack over a network path, MetaCard only put one "/" in front of the filename i.e. "/PC2/C/windows/desktop/file.txt". Windows needs a "//" to recognize it as a network path i.e. "//PC2/C/windows/desktop/file.txt". Rich Mooney Payne Sparkman Mfg.

Re: filename property
Sorry folks, I figured it out. Actually I really don't know what the answer is and I have asked on the list previously and didn't get an answer. The problem is I have a stack on my hard drive with a button that is scripted to: on mouseUp go url "http://www.cariboo.bc.ca/SCHS/AHT/downloads/DiffsV2/wbc_diffs.mc"; end mouseUp The stack it is sent to is a standalone on our DNS server. If I use the filename property on the stack on my hard drive it works. When I use the filename property on the server it comes back empty. rick Ken Ray wrote: > Rick, > > It works for me.

Re: filename property
Actually, a funny thing happens with getting the filename of a stack that is a standalone on Mac OS X with 2.4.3. Since the application is built as a bundle on OS X, and the actual stack is located in a physically different location (not at the place in the hard drive heirarchy that it appears to be, but actually down a few levels... right click on your built application and select "Show Package Contents" to see what I mean), this means that the fileName of the stack will return something very different from what you'd expect. fileName as a stack only: /Macintosh HD/Applications/MetaCard/My Stack.mc fileName in a standalone: /Macintosh HD/Applications/MetaCard/My Stack.app/Contents/MacOS/My Standalone Something to take into account if you're finding file names in relation to the fileName of the stack... however, using the directory that MetaCard defaults to will give you to the directory that contains "My Stack.mc" and "My Stack.app" Hopefully that's somewhat clear, though I don't know if that addresses your problem or not. I can still get the fileName on my OS X version... >Has there been a change in the filename property in 2.4.3? > >When I use > put the filename of this stack into imagelocation >the variable imaglocation is blank.

Re: filename property
Rick, It works for me. I launched MC 2.4.3, opened the message box and typed: put the fileName of this stack and got "C:/Program Files/MetaCard 2.4.3/mchome.mc" Is this on a Mac?

filename property
Has there been a change in the filename property in 2.4.3? When I use put the filename of this stack into imagelocation the variable imaglocation is blank. It used to come back with the full path for the stack. Thanks Rick ___ metacard mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard
