Hello,
I have lots of Word files saved as .rtf (on my Mac). I then save them
as .htm-files and import them into a customProperty:
--tPath = /Signes/MetacardMappe/t4a1b1.htm
-- kdatafil = t4a1b1.htm
if there is a file tPath then --
set the htmlText of field 1 to url (binfile: tPath)
if you are importing custom icons from HC,
they will wind up in their own Stack BackGround.
Go to Edit BackGrounds and click on HC Icons in
the Stack Backgrounds window right below the Card
Groups window.
No, haven't imported anything. But I will be updating several
programs soon that were

Hi Jacque,
I think you might be running into the no-GUI-for-scripts issue. As I understand it
from my reverse-engineered point of view (subject to change), MC knows that a script
isn't a stack, so it doesn't 'activate' GUI support when running one. So if a script
tries to invoke MC GUI

My apologies for the multiple posts!
My internet link is goofy at the moment, and it kept hanging while I
was trying to send the email, I didn't know it had been sent.
Trying to track down the troubles as they've prevented me from
uploading web pages and other things this past two weeks.

I see. I would have thought that MC would recognize where the fields
were and their text, even if it wasn't bothering with

card was open.

Thanks. What kind of stuff can it get?

I think that IS the case. So you probably have to work around that by using
offset or something else.
One other thing that doesn't apply to your problem right now but

In case this might interest anyone, I'm using on Linux a text editor
called Nedit (nedit.org) which also runs on OSX (might need to be
compiled tho) which I found particularly good for mt scripts since you
can configure it to execute a script after editing it without having to
open the terminal.
Shari,
MetaCard has good graphics handling, however it can be a pain to have to
redo a stack that was already done once.
Keep in mind that creating 100 graphics and MetaCard and manipulating them
is a lot faster than trying to do the same thing in HyperCard.
I understand why you may not want to

Whoa. I accidentally did it -- it does work. :) Very cool. I didn't have
all the pieces together exactly right at any given

Hello out there. I am creating a simple installer that will copy over
fonts from a folder to the fonts folder on OS 10.1.3.
I am using the put binfile://path to font into lFontFile method. The
problem is that nothing is brought in. Yet other types of files were
successfully brought in.

You might be able to set the defaultStack to the target stack and then use short
references - but I don't know for sure.
Whaddya know. You can. :)
