ANN: Draw kaleidoscopic effects

I failed in my attempt to find a way to use the pen tool to paint kaleidoscopic effects. This stack (see below) draws the effects instead. Painting would be better. More options. Well, except for the fact that I can't do it. Every time I try to drag the pen in a mouseMove handler, RR locks

Hi. Exactly. In my utility stack handlers (as in HC), I do not have to even consider the test stack, so, if I say: on opencard put the name of btn 1 into fld "utilityField" of stack "wizard" end opencard I get the name of the button in the test stack, as expected. I do have to specify the s

Bob. Yes, and I am undisciplined in that unless I really need to lock it down. But as I just learned again, sometimes passing messages can cause unwanted things to happen downstream. I find sometimes that my HC gadget does not respond to a stack I am working on, and I know instantly that I tra

Len, I have a stack that reads the headers of WAV, AIFF, AU and SD2 files and gives you an array of the various audio properties - sample rate, number of channels etc. If that would be useful to you, it's here: http://maspub.s3.amazonaws.com/audiofileinfo.zip Best, Mark On 27 Feb 2009, at

Just depends on what your scripts do. If your utility scripts are trying to intercept normal handlers and execute BEFORE the messages get to anything else, you would want them in front. If your scripts want to execute AFTER everything else may have possible gotten the messages, you would wa

Hi Craig, I'm glad you got it fixed. Lots of front scripts in the IDE send messages to the message box. If you put the message box both (almost) at the bottom and at the to of the message hierarchy, you get a big mess. Usually, I don't insert stack scripts into front or back. For this pu

It looks like Start Using inserts the script of the stack into the front of the message path, meaning it will receive all messages first. You can just see why that would be a good idea! You want the stack you last opened to be the one that gets the messages. You can alternatively use the In
