2001-01-11 Thread ScottYang
With 2.3.2, in the 640x480 resolution, my project is pushed downward by the exact vertical height of the menubar on the mac when the menubar is hidden. This did not occur with 2.3.1 on mac or at all on the PC in both versions. How do I get around this shift down problem in 2.3.2 on the Mac?

Following up Philip Chumbley comments, those of us using MetaCard as a multimedia presentation tool very much need to be able to import vector objects. MetaCard, like SuperCard has a relatively primitive vector drawing environment. In SuperCard this was easy to overcome by drawing vector objects
