Re: newbie question, wrapping text
Hi Jose, Ok, many thanks. Sadhu | Hi Sadhu, | | I understand you want to pad the text to a fixed lenght (in fld 1 or in a | variable) to a fld 2.

Yo, A newbie question: I want to wrap some single line text in a text box and not use a horizontal scroll bar. I have an algorithm that works. But it is horribly inefficient and I'm sure there must be a better way! Can you X-talk gurus help me out with this one? if (the length of this_line > 80) then repeat with i = 1 to the length of this_line put char i of this_line after field "contents" if (i mod 80 = 0) then put return after field "contents" end repeat end if Mahalo! ___ metacard mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard

The only thing I can guess is that you're running in 8-bit (256-color) mode and your graphics card is being too clever and dithering even when it's not supposed. Running in 32-bit depth is the best solution to this problem, but I'd also consider that graphics card and/or driver to be suspect and one or both probably should be upgraded.

Newbie question about the bucket tool.
Bonjour, I don’t understand why the paint tools which work with macOS behave in a strange way with Windows. If I choose a color (for instance a green defined by the RGB values 125,255,O), I expect each pixel which I paint to have exactly this color. This is performed without any problem by my mac. My computer running with Windows OS seems to display the chosen color, but in facts, the area which is should painted with it is filled with a mosaic of pixels with slightly different colors. (If the chosen color is 125,255,O, then the colors of the mosaic are 115,255,0 and 123,255,0). When a shape is filled with a mosaic instead of a plain color, of course the bucket tool will operate only on the contiguous pixels having exactly the same color. Could anyone help me with mastering the paint tools or explain me why Windows does not allow me to paint with the exact colors I choose ? Thank you for your help Cordialement, Jean-Paul Poccard ___ metacard mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard

I wonder if you have other images in your stack with the same ID number.

Newbie with a newbie question
Hello all, Just began working with MC after years as a HyperCard guy. Things have been going okay but have run into a problem with a stack I'm working on. When I click to put an icon on a button, the icon doesn't get placed. I have to create a new stack and put a button with an icon on it to get the number so I can enter the number on my original stack to get he icon to show up. This just started happening yesterday after a few weeks of working on the stack with no problems. Any ideas? I've already rerun MC so it's not the program. Could I have unknowingly done something to the stack to cause this? Allen CarterAC Muzik P. O.
