Maybe someone else knows :a better approach, but this seems to work: I raised the same issue with Kevin a while ago and he responded; The problem is that the selection is lost when you switch to the palette if only an insertion point is present and not a selection. This is a known issue and we'll try to get it resolved soon. In the mean time, you may be able to work around this problem in the development UI by using the unsupported gREVChunkStore variable (we had this same problem so implemented this as a workaround!). My own comments are: 1. If I am not mistaken, exactly the same situation prevails in HyperCard. If only an insertion point is present a palette button doesn't get the selection, but if any chars are selected the btn does get the selection. 2. I was nervous about implementing Kevin's suggestion--same would apply to Jacque's. My palette does things to the selectedLine. Sometimes these are destructive. When you can actually see the selection there is no problem. When the handler works on the global, the wrong selection could at some time be in the global. Maybe not in a perfect world, but I am nervous about it with my level of skills. Therefore, I have decided simply to live with the situation and force the user to make a selection of one or more characters--same as I did with HyperCard. Comments?

URGENT SCRIPTING NEEDED --
PLEASE REPLY SEPERATLY TO [EMAIL PROTECTED]PLEASE
DON'T REPLY ONTO THE METACARD EMAIL LIST AS I DON'T HAVE ALOT OF TIME TO
SEARCH DOWN EVERY EMAIL.
PROBLEM DETAILS:
I have a project that I need to go onto a cd-rom as a part of a
government project @ work.What I need is a script to run only once when
the stack opens. Reason being is that I can't put all the stack locations
into scripts.. for example: c:\project\mainstack.mc because then this forces
them to copy to their harddrive. It is going to be 700MB, what happens
if they don't have that much space? -well they can';t use it.
outline: what I need..
On OpenStack
{set a global field in the stack to the location of where this file
is opened} - so for example it will set a global field called "location"
to x:\[folder]\ (where x is the drive letter of where it is opening from.
If this can be achieved then how do i recall it
for example: (I want to open a file in the same folder called "credits.mc")
A Button called Credits has to do:
open "{location} (as defined before as the location) \credits.mc"
therefore printing below:
open "e:\project\credits.mc" -- where e: is the drive and project
is the name of the folder
If you can send script or something to help me with this it is greatly
appreciated.

I want to be able to position groups - and it would be so much easier if I could use the pointer tool to do this and still trap for messages like mouseMove or whatever - but the only thing I can trap seems to be selectedObjectChanged (apart from the mysteries of the control key menus)... I guess I can simulate it, and simulate the move and resize handles but I wish that I could still have messages in paint and pointer/selection tool modes Any tricks I am missing? The messages you want *are* sent when you have the pointer tool, they're just swallowed by the main development-environment front script. You'll need to either remove that while testing, or put your own script in front of that with insert script. The messages aren't sent when you have a paint tool in 2.3.X, but are in 2.4. You can get the final beta of that in the directory: ftp://ftp.metacard.com/MetaCard/2.4/ Regards, Scott Scott Raney [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.metacard.com MetaCard: You know, there's an easier way to do that...

Will do Andu. NB how does the syntax work with the library - take it this is something done in 2.4? But what get's sent to the library with each of the above? Also are you working on the POP/SMTP library as well?

Re: put image 1....
The 2.4 docs say you can export to a container so I guess you can export to a url??? - Original Message - From: David Bovill [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, August 19, 2001 1:16 PM Subject: put image 1 When you treat images as containers, what format is the data actually in. If the original image brought into Metacard was a GIF/JPEG - do they *stay* in that format, or are they converted to a standard internal representation? I need to know because I want to FTP images direct form the image containers - not after exporting them to a file if possible.
