I handle upwards of 500 images at a time and MC crashes. I figure it's a
memory thing and probably need to look into a hasMemory function to clear it
out every so often. I'm looking for a direct output to jpg (of the entire
card with layout) to cut down on the time - also seems that this would b

I remembered reading that I can create a Solaris standalone on my Mac
simply by pointing at the appropriate executable in the standalone
builder, and I happened to have access to a Solaris box today.
So I downloaded the Solaris .tar file, and it decompressed into
several text files. They were:
none problems to report!
not thouroughly tested as in NT4 though...
Absolutely NO problems to report from Win32 to NT problems other than a
silly fld color redraw problem (Win98/ME/TS to NT4SP5 or viceversa.. only)
i'll check tomorow if it happens on NT2k...

you can always use an external file but that's really beyond the purpose of
having such a great system as MC. you can store the info as a prop as was
previously suggested and using a standard would assure upgrades... At

So much activity this week that I thought I'd ask the whole list if they
have a need to export *cards* with all elements as a standard Jpeg file. I
personally really need this so if anyone has a solution (besides taking a

I realize you would normally want to track more than this, but:
If you open a stack as a text file, not as a stack, you'll see that lines 1 to 3
look like this:
#!/bin/sh
# MetaCard 2.3 stack
# The following is not ASCII text,
(DON'T save the stack while opened this way!)

There is no save feature in MC - not like HC!
you just need to put a message handler
on closestack
savestack - handle your versioning here
pass closestack
end closestack
that's it... note your stack will be automatically saved in this way so you
might want to put a

Hi Xavier,
The 'loc' is the centre of the window, image, button, etc. I think what
you need is the 'topleft'.
set the topleft of stack myStack to 3,3

I want to build a system for automatically tracking version information for
my stacks. What I'm thinking is storing version information in a property
of the stack, and updating that information each time the stack is saved.
But I don't see any way to intercept the save message (MC doesn't let y

Hi Monte,
Yes, I agree. MC could be such a powerful tool for research (I've
already used it as such), but easy access to core mathematical and
graphing functions is vital. I remember a software company that used to
develop external functions and commands for HyperCard, although the name
Hi Everyone,
As you may know from a recent posting I've made to this list ("Re:
Graphing stack or script and matrix calculations"), I'm developing a
simple stack that computes descriptive statistics for a user-supplied
data set or a randomly-generated series.
I have a question about
Have you tried to make a bookcase in QTVR (object) format? Each side can have a hot
spot
that, with the new commands in MC can take an action.

i dont know if this is a bug but this script just doesn't work the way it's
supposed to...
i've setup my home stack and mctools stack no more than horizontal 1 pixel
apart.
the loc of stack "mctools" = 242
the loc of stack "home" = 174
Is windows or metacard or my PC on logical LSD or something?
i dont know if this is a bug but this script just doesn't work the way it's
supposed to...
set the loc of stack "mctools" to "3,3"
puts half the MC window beyond the left edge of the screen.
what's up with that? (tested only on windows!)
did I miss something?
Xavier
