So does anyone know what a colorPalette is?

2002-01-08 Thread David Bovill

It would be great to know, I need cheering up - and I just love secrets :)

 Anyone thought of turning MC's documentation into a video game :)
 
 
 I think it's been done: It was called Adventure and it was very popular on

 Apple II.

 I wish the documentation was that clear :)
I seems to me that this feature was built for the IDE, not documented.

 The question I'm asking is what on earth is the colorPalette object in the
 Colour Chooser stack? The control browser lists it as a colourPalette
 Color Map and the only documentation I can find is that they have a
 selectedColor property.
 
 Any other properties? How would I go about creating my own palettes. It
 would be nice to figure this out before I go ahead and create palettes made
 out of buttons...
Mmmm... you can't create one by

  create colorpalette

But you need to select it with the Control Browser in the Color Palette,
copy it and paste it into your own stack. Great!!!

With a script like

  on mouseUp
set the backcolor of button 1 to the selectedColor of me
  end mouseUp

  this one-liner ...
 
  on mouseUp
 launch rasphone.exe
  end mouseUp
 
  Does it work for you? It should allow you to connect if off-line, or
  disconnect if on-line. Please drop me a line saying if it works for you and

On Win NT 4.  I have a cable connection so no modem, and Dial-Up 
Networking isn't installed. The above script brings up a dialog 
telling me all about Dial-Up Networking and asks if I want to install 
it.

I hope this doesn't put you back a step.

Re: save

2002-01-08 Thread Phil Davis

Have you verified that the script is in fact being executed? Maybe there's another 
'closeStack' handler somewhere along the message path? (To test it, you could add a 
beep or 'put CLOSING ' statement in the handler and see if anything new happens 
upon close.)

Another possibility: have you verified that 'this stack' is the stack you think it is? 
To test, you could add put the name of this stack in the handler.

Hope this helps.

Phil

Best way to learn is to ask. Also sometimes you find things in the index
by looking for related ones and following links.
What do you want to know about keyboard focus?

 
 thanks for and tips.

HyperCard's searchscript handler searches scripts, but it sounds like
you just want to find text in the reference. Use the Find command (Cmd-F
or under the Tools menu) which will bring up a dialog. You can use that
to search for text in stacks.

MC doesn't provide a searchscript utility, but I suspect a lot of us
have made our own. I have one I can send you privately if you want it.

it seems like a MetaCard Fanzine with links would
complement the MC Home page, so i will make one

A property of controls to be controlled with the keyboard (i.e. type in
fields, tab from one field to an other, etc.).

If you are still in the evaluation phase, you might have a look at Revolution (also 
based on the MetaCard engine). It has a search feature that allows you to specify a 
search of scripts, as well as other options.

RE: So does anyone know what a colorPalette is?

2002-01-08 Thread xbury . cs

David,

The read me had the mention about that feature. 

Tonite, i'll try my best to make my palette maker stack available. It's not
exactly 100% finished and full featured but it is fun to watch and tweak and
the colors are just great! Makes any type of palette through mathematics
using a wheel (much like the mac palette) though as mentioned below, more
features will be added. I'll post on the list when it's ready!

As usual, you make a stack for a solution and when you read the read me,
your stack is a simple command!
