Aloha,
I'm just getting started here. Please bear with the "newbie" questions.
As a long time SC user, the tutorials and concepts etc that come with the
starter kit serve for someone to study and get a grip on MC to make a
presentations for CD deployment, set up small dbases etc. text manipulation
there's a learning curve, but that's all pretty straight forward.
But how to use all the internet commands, compress files etc? I don't find
any user's guidance. . .so how to get a grip on this? The scenario is pretty
obvious:
Create an MC "lead" stack that is made available on the net with links to
the engines.
Create Supporting MC stacks
Generate additional content files: audio, graphics, text (if you don't want
it in the cards themselves.)
Then, compress all this, post access to the "lead stacK" and MC engine on an
HTML page that some one downloads etc etc. (Is it preferred to get users to
to to the Metacard site for the engines? or we post them on our own site?)
It's the implementation and optimization strategy for the above that I need
to get a grip on. I tried to look at the scripts of the little help stack
that has three URL download buttons for the FAQ, the Survey etc but for some
reason I could not get those objects to be selected by the select tool to
examine the scripts.
I want to create a small presentation, driven over the net, that I can use
to "sell" the idea of buying into MC.
And for CD internet enabling, how to create a button that will launch an
HTML file in the users' browser. . .( I am assuming that MC can't actually
interpret and display HTML files like Netscape or Explorer can. . .)
I am sure the above is relatively simple but if you drove our small John
Deere tractor for several years and then got into our big FORD tractor. .
.well, someone has to tell you what levers do what. . .A step buy step guide
would help; I don't need a line by line scripts (yet), I can write the code,
I just need a "do this first, then do that, then use the URL commands to do
this ..." Is there a USER guide on line to implement this side of MC
capabilities?
Thanks!
