Re: Case problem

Frontscripts and backscripts

According to the documentation, the following limits are imposed: The Starter Kit permits up to ten objects to be inserted into the frontscripts. This limit is set by line 4 of the scriptLimits function. Standalone applications also have this limitation. Ditto for backScripts. Also, it's a

MetaCard's Future

I was just wondering if there was a road-map somewhere of MetaCard's future development plans (schedule?) Perhaps a list like: "to do now", "to do next", "to do when the episode of Star Trek on TV is not one I like" Cheers Tom Changed your e-m

Re: Case problem

I have a similar command-key problem. I was trying to set some menu buttons in a menu group to have the shortcut command-1, command-2, and other numbers. But it screwed up my entire menu bar, I couldn't get a lot of other menu shortcuts to work in the standalone or in the game. What's the d

Hi Klaus! Your solution does help somewhat and I thank you and am planning to spend tonight working on applying your suggestion. However it is not a complete solution. Let me explain my problem more exactly: I wish to be able to do the following 1) Copy text from a field in metaCard and paste

Bonsoir Dominique, looks like a job for a hidden button in the style of pop-up ;-) Try it, create a button, set its contents to something like: new/n first/f last/l etc... set its style to popup, group it, if necessary, to have it on all cards (dont forget to set the "background behaviour" of

You guys really made my evening yesterday, when just before quitting for the day, I realized that the inability to edit scripts would blow my entire strategy for this program. I would have shut down and been miserable all night long, and probably today and tomorrow and every day it took to rew

saving styled text?

how do I save styled text from a field to a file so that the text formatting is retained in the saved file? I can save plain ascii just fine - I would like to save its format as well however. I have tried running through the help stacks and faq and have not found a solution. Hints pointers or i
