So the solution has to be to avoid modal dialogs. You could do that by
creating your own dialog stack and storing it as a substack in your main
stack. You'd fill the text field with the appropriate response and set
the button labels to whatever you want. Then display it as modeless:

Hello,
I have searched both Metacard and Revolution archives in order to
find something I read perhaps a few weeks ago, but I have not been
able to retrace it. It was not only about how to get all the various

If you need them to play seamlessly from one file to the next, that
would be the biggest trick. I would start out by having your
program get the size (in time) of the file it is going to play first
and have a send command create another player and start it at the
estimated end time.
Yes it

Wow, your long version looks like a pain to implement. I came into this
thread late so forgive me if this has already been suggested, but have you
tried using 'on playStopped' to string your sounds together. Here's a little
code I just wrote a few minutes ago to do this.

Couldn't you reduce the lines of code like this:

on StartItUp
put darnyou.wav,aaah.wav,goodie.wav,oh yeah.wav,talk to you.wav into

Shari,
Here's some answers... hopefully others will fill in the gaps:
Standalone Builder - The Metacard engine, does this mean the Metacard
program itself? So I'd have to install all three versions of the
program (PPC, Windows and OSX) to access those engines to build from?
The only thing

I forgot all about playstopped. I think I like your suggestion
The new windowshape property is really, really super cool. I'm
impressed.
I did run into a problem though and would like verification before I bug
report it. I imported an image, set the windowshape, added a card
script, and saved the stack. No problem. Tinkered some more, saved
repeatedly. No

Standalone Builder - Creator - in Hypercard I always chose to use a

Yes. Keep in mind that in order for your standalone to have the icon you
want (on Mac), you'll need to use ResEdit (or the equivalent) to edit the
resource fork
Try this (watch out for line wraps):

Shari,
GraphicConverter will work on PICT resources in a stack, so you don't need
to worry about that aspect of the batch conversion. Setting the
transparency, however, is another matter...

The transparency can be handled as well

You'll need three different standalones, one for each platform. Since
the Mac versions will only run on Macs, having a resource fork is not a
problem. MetaCard will always create a resource fork for a Mac

I've tried to do this before, but can't seem to create an .ico file that will be accepted. (I'm a Mac user, mainly, maybe that add to the mystery for me.)
How do you do this?
What software and/or process do you use?
Do you have to do anything special for XP?

Because all your mac flavors will have a resource fork, you should
use it for your icons. On OS X, you have to really dive in there
with resedit to get your icons to look just right.
OSX supports a resource fork? I had heard that it didn't. Though I
haven't experienced OSX first hand...
Charles, you need to create a 16-color (NOT 16-bit color, but
16 colors) icon. I use GraphicConverter, which does a wonderful job. Import/open
a 32x32 graphic, downsample it to 16 colors, and then save it in "Windows Icon
(*.ico)" format. Voila!
