One time there was a debate on the SuperCard mailing list about which was
better: runtime editing, or the more modal technique employed by
SuperEdit. At the time I didn't care much one way or the other, but one
comment made by a SuperEdit proponent is echoing in my mind right now: he
said something like, "I prefer to perform surgery on my projects without
the patient squirming around on the table while I do it."
I'm finding that I miss SuperEdits "no scripts" environment, and even the
"scripts only run when you're running the project" aspect of SuperCard's
standard editor. I use on openCard messages to trigger things to happen
in my program (an educational product), and they seem to go off even if I
don't have the browse tool selected. As a defense, I've stuck in a front
script that traps openCard, closeCard, openBackground, and
closeBackground messages. Is this the best way to stop MetaCard from
automatically moving me on to the next card, etc., or is there something
I'm missing?
Thanks
