The latest beta adds an unwanted frame around the text ' radiations that

Hi All..
In the charts module you can set a whole cell to be a hyperlink

So what can I write to link to a local file?
Along the lines of…

Anyone know how to add extra shapes, beyond those predefined?

However, as I see it, you can only set the visibility of a layer in

the backgrounds on a page by page basis, but this
seems inelegant, as the \setups ought to be before the \starttext..?

Quick question.
I want to design a screen document at 1024 by 768 pixels, so ideally work in
pixels as units, and not mm / cm.

Any experts out there - with access to code (or the ability to assemble such

-load in swf at x,y location relative to a fixed 1026 by 768 px background
-set size correctly (native size of swf)
-set poster frame
in it.
So I have plenty of real-life examples.
