What everyone else said.--Audacity, compressed AU or 22mhz wav.
A couple of years ago, I had to make some 'immutable' sound stacks for a
school. I recorded the voice actor with a tape deck, captured the sound at high
quality settings (44khz, 16 bit) edited them and downsampled to 22khz,8 bit.
Just my two-bits.
I'm a high school teacher (i.e. 'not rich'). I paid for MetaCard with my own
personal money (I can't even claim it as a tax right-off). In fact I've paid
for MetaCard/Revolution numerous times.
Bitter? Not! There are some free software tools out there. Maybe one day I'll

I have successfully used Ken Ray's scripts to get unique serial numbers for any
kind of disc--hard drive, floppy, CD. (mac and windows)
After spending a lot of time creating a registration code for CD's, I
discovered that when a CD is copied (when a disc image is made) the serial
I don't often check this list, but just today, I opened an old MetaCard stack (built
with 2.4?) using Rev 2.2. And I had black menus, too.

I'm experiencing a very slow execution on Windows NT 2000 (japanese)
On my English Mac Powerbook 333 sytem 8.6 (ancient, i know!) this works well.
the aim of this script is to move a field of words across the screen so that students
can click on the words as they scroll past. I tried it with
The problem is limited to the Metacard app. So, fiddling with the keyboard control
panel won't help.

Gosh I think I've opened a can of worms here.
Perhaps it's a japanese thing. A quick survey of all the keyboards in our school
office--various PCs-- reveals that they share 9 + shift for ')' whereas my USA version
mac and my colleagues Japanese version iBook have 0 + shift for ')'
Another
What I mean is the keyboard map on my PC is acting like the keyboard map on my Mac. So
yes, all the characters work and are there, just their position on the keyboard is
different. So the '(' key is shift + '9' on both platforms.
This seems to be true both in script editor and in fields.

Ken you read right. Crazy isn't it? When I first installed 2.5 and moved my homestack
from my mac to my PC (the probable source of the problem) I noticed it when I tried
editing my scripts. The quotes, (, ), ect keys weren't working. It took about 10
minutes (I'm slow) for me to figure out
Ever since I started using MC 2.5 I've had this problem
When I do work on my projects with my Windows box, the keyboard acts like my Mac
keyboard--it took a little while to get used to, but I didn't mind (much). But now I
want to deploy my project among my students and they are almost 100%
Hi, I know many of you are using Ken Ray's excellent scripts. If you are using the
script for retrieving a disk's unique serial number--for registration purposes, for
example-- please be aware that it probably won't work on non-english systems (in my
case japanese).
His script uses
Up to MC 2.4 I was using the htmltext property to do all my Kanji, but it's a real
drag.
With 2.5 I tried the unicode feature, but have run into trouble--i.e. the Kanji for
book, hon doesn't show up when I move it from one field to another via script.
--strangely other kanji seem unaffected.
Yes, under these circumstances:

No corruptions so far (except for my patience!)

This thread was originally about finding out if a particular cd was in the drive.
Would MCIsendString do what you need? I know it will tell you if media is present.
(which might be enough)
Also, you could just see if a file which you know is on your CD is present
Something like...
if there
Thanks to Scott and xbury.cs
I've been able to do it with commands found on the web page which xbury.cs provided.

For Windows 9x, there are two sets of commands you can use to
I guess the subject line pretty much says it all. I'm a teacher and run some stack for
my students to use. Today as we finished up, I thought it would be nice to press a
button and turn all the machines (or selected ones) off without physically moving
(save those calories!)
Anyone know how to
Having some problems recently
using metacard 2.4.3
occasionally going to a substack will cause the stack to resize. Even though I've set
the sizes (both max and min) to the same numbers in the property window and there's
nothing in the script to resize the stack

I made a little program that will deliver quizes to my students--
Students log on--the teacher's computer recieves a datagram message.
Students choose a quiz--the teacher's computer gets the message and sends the proper
quiz back to the student's computer.
It worked fine on my little setup at
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

Changed your e-mail?
I've gotten a lot of ideas, examples and help from the list and I figure it's my turn
to contribute something.
I have a stack for recording .wav files on Win32 using MCIsendString (so you don't
need Quicktime!)
You can grab it here:

I love QuickTime, you love Quicktime--great. But there are a lot of Windows boxes out
there without QuickTime.
So, my question. Can we play native Windows video files from within MetaCard using
MCISendString?
If so,how and does anyone have a list of commands for the AVI interface?
(The
I've wasted a lot of time in the past trying to get QuickTime sound recording working.
So before I try again with the latest version of MetaCard, has anyone had any success
with it?
I still get irritating squeeks on my mac and grabled garbage on my windows.
My workaround so far is to use
Almost finished and now I'm thinking about distributing.
I'm considering builind a small base application with the engine and tools in it, and
then running a stack through it.
Benifits:
Stack can save changes to itself, Easy to update :)
Issues:
I've made icons for my Windows Builds, but
Sorry this is so late, but I think an easy workaround to filtering out HTML tags in a
file would be to do the following:
Set the htmltext of a field to the html file
write that field to a text file.

You might want to try using the htmltext property.

Graphic Converter won't work for Window's icons in MetaCard. Scott Raney suggested a nice program which I'm using (shareware $14) Unfortunatly I'm at my mac right now and can't recall the name.
You could do a search at Cnet for icon builders.
Good Luck

Any one have any experience with
1: Speech Recognition (especially on Windows)
2: Dialing a phone/modem. (there used to be a hypercard stack that could dial a
phone)
Any suggestions would be appreciated

I also missed the ability to cycle through the tools using the keyboard as was
available in HyperCard.
Here is a piece of code you can put in your project script. I copied the base from the
demo stack that came with MetaCard and then added some new ones for choosing tools. I
hope it helps.
I may or maynot have had a similar experience. So I'm not sure if this will apply to
you.
I've found that it's a good idea to set the filename of a player to empty before
starting new movies.
This is especially true when recording sounds which you will play with a player. The
