Richard,
Have you looked at Pseudotable Plus, available at the CrossWorlds site? It
has a script for converting data into the spreadsheet table, and others for
adding and deleting columns from the table; some combination of these might
give you what you need.

I create courseware with MetaCard, and I use my standalone stack to show a
splash screen animation and then launch a menu stack. The menu stack then
launches my various courseware stacks. I can track user progress in both the
menu stack and the individual courseware stacks b
r button also sends a menuPick message when you make a

Better yet, just change the doubleClickInterval to make it shorter.

It looks like something is wrong with the way MetaCard is capturing the
htmlText of your original field. You should probably submit this as a bug
report. You could probably work around it by setting the htmlText of the
field directly instead of setting the textColor.
As an aside, your code could

other machines as on your original machine, or it would not be displayed. If
you are using external images this way, it's best to set a relative path for
them so that they can always be found, and (of course) include those images
when you install on another machine.

I'd be interested to know how other people deal with this.
BTW, I think you will soon find the ability to put several backgrounds
(or groups, in MetaCard-speak) on one card to be really useful. It lets
you reuse a set of objects as needed without having to copy them from
one c
Use the "within" function. For example:
on mouseMove
if within (graphic 1, the mouseLoc) then put the mouseLoc
end mouseMove
This shows the mouseLoc in the message box as long as the cursor is
within the filled area of the polygon.
Hope this helps,

It works just fine for me. I use:

And I check it with this line in a mouseUp handler:
put the textStyle of the clickText
No problems. How are you trying to set it?
