No, haven't imported anything. But I will be updating several programs soon that were built in HC, and I need to determine which ones I can port to MC without losing any of the goodies, and without spending a lot of time with the transition. Apparently several of them will need to remain in HC, as MC cannot easily handle some of the things HC does with graphics and sounds. My programs rely heavily on graphics and sounds. In one sequence of Pork Barrel, I have several soundchannels playing at once, while other handlers are running. And many of my programs play several sounds in succession while other handlers are running. I did this with my current MC project, but it's klutzy and the sounds don't always play smoothly. Required a lot of extra coding. When I get a chance, I will upload the code in case anyone knows of a better way. And of course the program which duplicates an image 50-100 times across the screen in an animation... nope, doesn't excite me to create 100 objects for one small animation sequence in a program that's already done and out there. Better to leave the project in Hypercard and just perform the few minor updates it needs. Was just kinda hoping to move some of them to cross platform and OSX and all of them to Metacard... *sigh* Far as I can tell, very few of my HC programs will port easily and smoothly to MC. The only one being a business program. Very few sounds and graphics there :-) -- --Shareware Games for the Mac-- http://www.gypsyware.com _______________________________________________ metacard mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard
