uploading a test revlet on safari to a web site
I've successfully created a web application with webmedia. it runs good although I'll have to clean up a few things. The question is, how do I upload the web application from the test mode in safari that webmedia creates to an actual web page on the web? i have access to idisk storage and iweb. Can it be done on them?

Re: Why did HyperCard wither away? [was: Re: Why is Konfabulator 'Pretty?']
I really enjoyed that insider look also. Can anybody pick it up when hypercard went back to apple and we were supposed to have version 3.0?

[was: Re: Why is Konfabulator 'Pretty?'] Bill, Thank you for the fresh insider perspective! Perhaps I can finally put to rest my conspiracy theories. (I hate it when that happens.) e I guess I assumed the leadership at Apple controlled the robustness and goals of the teams involved in product development, even at Claris. The HyperCard team apparently lacked in both areas. Thanks for the perspective. Mark On Dec 9, 2005, at 6:13 PM, Bill Marriott wrote: Well, I had the good fortune to be at Claris during the HyperCard transition. I knew the development team and the product managers well. I don't think it was anything so deliberate/nefarious as you surmise. - Claris didn't know how to make money on a program that had been given away for free. The demotion of the free HyperCard to a player and starting to charge for the full version ended up upsetting/alienating a lot of customers. - In those days, there was free, unlimited, red carpet technical support. You could call in with just about any question and the support group would go to the ends of the earth to solve it for you. (This included writing scripts and debugging stacks.) With everyone from commercial developers to 11th graders calling in, HyperCard became one of the most expensive products to support, surpassing even FileMaker Pro. - Key members of the Apple team that built HyperCard declined to move to Claris and the product just wasn't upgraded quickly enough or smartly enough. It took forever to get their act together under the reorganization chaos. Not enough features were added, and the ones that were often were not done in a way that pleased customers. - No one knew how to position it within the Claris product line. FileMaker was also the chief moneymaker, and there was some question why someone would use FileMaker if HyperCard was able to do the same things (easy reports, for example). There was actually a lot of contention for a while whether to use HyperCard or FileMaker as the engine for the technical knowledgebase (FileMaker won). - As a producer of software primarily targeted at consumers and small businesses, Claris didn't have the depth of experience to create a developer-oriented tool. - The HyperCard team tended not to integrate well with the rest of the company. They didn't eat lunch at the same tables. :) I think this prevented a lot of discussion, crossover ideas, and innovative thinking from occurring. - HyperCard was not making a profit; there were therefore no substantial funds for marketing it. Combined with all the other factors above, other companies (like SuperCard) stepped in and started to compete for the HyperCard audience. Market share of HyperCard fell dramatically. After HyperCard went back to Apple there may have been some additional machinations that I'm not aware of. However, 1) The Claris spinout was the beginning of the end for HyperCard as far as I'm concerned. It's not that Claris was a bad company (quite the opposite); it's just that insufficient strategic consideration was given to how it would grow there, and it probably should never have left Apple anyway. 2) I never once at Claris heard the notion that HyperCard stacks reflected poorly on the image of the Macintosh. Quite the opposite. 3) No one -- except a few crazies no one listened to -- saw the potential for HyperCard to impact the Web (and vice versa). So close yet so far. (sigh.) HyperCard's paradigm was mired in floppy-disk distribution of stacks... a bandwidth-friendly, streaming, component-ized, multi-user, client-server world was simply not envisioned. By 1993/1994 the Web was clearly the next big thing and HyperCard missed the boat. Bill Mark Swindell [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] I think they were ok with HyperCard staying a fun toy for amateurs, but they didn't want to blur the line by giving it full-blown professional UI potential. Then their platform would have been populated by half- baked applications that worked poorly but which could have appeared superficially to have been produced by professionals and would have helped define the Mac experience as amateurish. That would have been bad for business and their reputation. DTP programs used the computer to produce docs, for good or bad, but they weren't the computer in the same way a Hypercard stack became the

tablefield and standalone app issues
Thanks to all who gave info on table fields. The design came out well but I'm still experiencing trouble with the function of the tablefield stack. When I build a standalone to run my tablefield stack, I chose the table option to add that feature to the standalone. Was that the thing to do? Although I did that, as I tabbed thru the tablefield, the cells seems to get a bit confused and then the stack and the standalone went all white and froze. My first inclination was a memory allocation problem (not enough memory). I went back to the standalone builder and couldn't find a way to allocate more memory. Couldn't we do that in an earlier version? Any help with these issues is appreciated as I'm new to tablefield behaviour. jack ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Richard Gaskin I have produced a small number of CBTs for a UK government organisation who need to validate all executables for security reasons. Supplying a single player with add-on stacks makes life easier in this respect. It is easier to persuade public sector customers that they are only running a single program with downloadable modules than it is to say they need to allow an increasing number of new executables. They get twitchy about the security implications of new EXE files! Also, it minimises network traffic if each client workstation has a single player installed which is set up as the helper-app within the browser so the user can download any of a number of CBT stacks without having to download the player engine each time or have to decide what to do with an executable (with attendant "security warnings" from their browser!).
