LiveCode supports the HyperCard 1.x XCMD model (which means that most XCMDs and XFCNs that don’t display a window will work in LiveCode without modification)
If I remember correctly there was a Flash XCMD for hyperCard and the original Flash used may have been an XCMD. These did not call a window so why won't it work in LiveCode? -=>JB<=- On May 16, 2012, at 10:53 PM, Scott Rossi wrote: > This seems to get pretty close, (but I ran into some intermittent [what seem > to be] card caching issues): > > command flashThisCard > put the effectRate into ER > set the effectRate to 750 > if version() < 5 then > lock screen > else do "lock screen for visual effect" > unlock screen with visual effect dissolve very fast to inverse > go this cd > set the effectRate to ER > end flashThisCard > > FWIW. > > > Regards, > > Scott Rossi > Creative Director > Tactile Media, UX Design > > > > Recently, Richmond wrote: > >> On 05/17/2012 02:30 AM, Kay C Lan wrote: >>> Not too far off: >>> >>> on mouseUp >>> visual dissolve very fast inverse >>> --go to required card/stack >>> >>> end mouseUp >>> >>> It's all in the Dictionary.
