I've used HyperCard a lot in the past, and have recently started working with Revolution. In my HyperCard stacks, I've used a lot of XCMDs/XCFNs, and I would like to keep using them. However, I haven't been able yet to get them to work. What I've done so far is create a main stack in Revolution and then use ResEdit to copy the XCMD/XCFN into the .rev file that Revolution creates. From what I've read so far, this should be enough, but it doesn't really work for me.
Here's a simple example that doesn't work for me. I created a stack in Revolution with just a field with some text, and a button. The button's script contains this: on mouseup put CaseChange(field 1,u) into field 1 end mouseup I copied the CaseChange XFCN (from Rinaldi) to my stack using ResEdit, but the result when I click the button is that the text in the field is cleared. The external should convert the text in the field to upper case. (BTW, this is just an example. I know that this can be easily coded using Transcript. It's just to show what happens when I try to use an external.) Something similar happens when I use Rinaldi's FullFind XFCN. Another XCMD that I've tried didn't work either. Is this to be expected? Do a lot of externals not work with Revolution? Or am I doing something wrong? _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
