Hi everybody, I just joined this list. I used Hypercard for many years, since I got my first Mac in 1991. Then, some years ago swiched to Supercard, which I've been using a lot. I've had Revolution Studio for over a year but only now am trying to use it more steadly. So, here's what I need help with right now. In a converted Hypercard stack, an arrowKey handler in the stack script is not behaving as expected. So I checked the Revolution dictionary and found this example below, which I tested on my stack and it didn't work, just the same:

(example from Rev dictionary)
on arrowKey theKey -- make Up arrow go to the first card
if theKey is "up" then go to card 1
else pass arrowKey
end arrowKey

Instead of going to card 1 it kept going to the next card each time I pressed the up arrow key, and after the last card the stack just closed.

I just made
-  a new main stack
- pasted  the handler above in the stack script

then it is working as expected. Il I am on card 2 or 3, pressing the up arrow key leads me to card 1

I am on RunRev Enterprise. I havn't RunRev Studio. But I tried with RunRev Media, and it is running as expected as well.

Well, don"t know why it is not the case for you; hav'nt you kept another handler somewhere which could interfere? (take precedence over this one)

Best regards from Grenoble

Andre, I opened the stack with Media, but no luck. However, I created a new stack and it worked (the short one). It seems obvious that the problem is in the stack. However, I converted the same stack to Supercard and that same script (the long one) works in SC, as well as in Hypercard. I did a search for arrowKey in the search box and found it only once, in the stack script.

Haroldo,

I had tried only the short one. I just tried your long script on the same stack (I just added " if whichKey is "up" then go to card 1" as a first line, for fun ;-)) but might be useful anyway!

I assume that your are expecting one is "circling" in the same background when, being on the first card of a bg, one presses the left arrowkey (or the right arrowkey when being on the last card of the bg). If this is the case, then no problem; your script works well in a stack created in rev.

André
