Hi all,
I just spent some more time exploring my old Hansel and Gretel
problem, i.e., the Case of the Lost Path. Having sprinkled bread
crumbs liberally, I can now report that the problem I thought I had
in January with losing graphics in MC stacks accessed from a browser
does not seem to have anything to do with the way I was
linking/importing the graphics, but rather with a more fundamental
phenomenon I hadn't expected, the fact that a stack's sense of its
current location was getting trashed by Windows.
At least, relative references in general don't work when a MetaCard
stack is accessed from a browser in Windows 95. I guess this may have
been reported, but I don't remember it being mentioned.
It seems to work OK on the Mac, and possibly Win NT, but not Windows 95.
I don't mind rewording the scripting references to stacks and
graphics to make them into absolute references using a global
variable set when any stack opens, but it seems odd that relative
references wouldn't be better supported. Is this just some more
Windows naughtiness or what?
Regards,
David
