My MC project is on CD-ROM for size and security reasons. I want to allow
users to customise various parts of the project (page headers, buttons etc)
from text files in a folder on their hard drive - preferably in a folder at
the first level. My script works fine but I am struggling with a path fo
The caseSensitive property controls how the "filter" command acts. So
when your script says:
set the caseSensitive to false
filter theContainer with "*is*"
... the filtered result could contain "MISS", "bliss", "Is it time
yet?", etc.

Is there a way to make the filter command not case sensitive, short of
(for example) filtering by
[tT][eE][sS][tT]
to find all lines where test occurs, regardless of case?
Thanks

Hi List Members,
I hope you'll humour me in my asking these two naive questions.
The first is on developing MC stacks on the Mac, and then creating
standalones for both Macs and Windows. Is my understanding correct that
to build a standalone for Windows, I must run the Standalone Bu

Hi Peter,
Try the mouseCharChunk - in theory there's room for it to not work every
time, but in practical terms it'll probably do the job consistently and
well. The mouseCharChunk will tell you what char of a word has the mouse
hovering over it at a given moment. With execution speeds being what

I'm trying to implement a simulation of a system that displays HTML
information with hot links. However, the tricky 'extra' is the fact
that each single word/phrase hot link is actually treated as two
halves with a click on the first half of a hot word taking you
backwards and a click on the
