Hello everyone,
I'm a new subscriber to the Metacard list, having just ordered Metacard today.
Here was going to follow some QuickTime support questions - but I've
just discovered the 235A beta and it's answered all the immediate
Quicktime problems I had. Great! Did this appear on the server
today? I could swear it wasn't there when I looked at the email
archives earlier this morning.
Now that we have basic QuickTime support is becoming available, can I
put in my vote for more? The feature set of the updated HyperCard
QuickTime xcmd in HC 2.4.1 could be a possible model. In particular
the ability to get track details, and enable and disable tracks would
be useful addition to the current feature set.
Unrelated question: what are people using to display
tabular/spreadsheet data in Metacard? Does MC have an equivalent of
OMO's datasheet (database) object?
Finally, one (perhaps not so) small observation: I think the demo
introduction stack which comes with the Metacard starter kit is in
desperate need of retirement and replacement. This stack will
flavour many developer's first impressions of Metacard.
Regards,
Rodney
