Hi everyone
saturday morning, first thing you do is naturally to dig in and enhance your
scripting garden, clean the taoo
scripting kitchen and hook some new databasing shelves on the walls a little
bit!
I love those endless streches of time in the weekend whence i can engage in

If a scrollbar value is changed when lockscreen is set, two thumbs
appear instead of one, meaning that lockscreen is only partly
effective here. After the handler has finished, only the changed thumb
remains - as would be expected.

While the docs claim that the blend ink effect is available on Windows,
in practice I can only use it with images, but not with graphic objects.
Am I missing something? If there's some trick to getting blend to work
as documented on Windows I'd be forever grateful...

Hi Richard,
Check out the srcOr ink effect. Depending on the grayscale of the
graphic will create the effective transparency, with a graphic of pure
black being 100% transparent, and white being pure opaque.
I don't think there's an equivalent of just 'blend'

How come if you have a script in a group, and that group is the same size as
a button, the mouse-up handler in the group responds when you click
anywhere in the card and not just directly over the group?

Hi Bill,

if the backgroundbehavior of that group = true, then this is the
correct
Thanks. It sure helps. I feel like a loser, sort of, but more and more I am
avoiding groups because they confuse me. I should have realized what
setting the background behavior to true would do. I have to think of a
group as always taking up the whole area of the card and not just the
bounded area
Is it really true that a Group that is not in the Background takes up
(i.e., accepts mouse events from) the whole card?!?

It might not be true because I am looking again at that and I think I have
one group inside another. The larger group holding an image so I can scroll
it. But that one doesn't have the background set to true.

However, one workaround would be to have each word be an individual textrun and
reversing the order of words so that the order is correct.

While I'm not sure this can be characterized as a bug, I'd call it a

you have multiple background groups. In that case, the background
groups live in layers, of course, each of which is the effective size
of the card. So

You shouldn't need a start before an EXE in Windows. If you specify
an EXE file name, Windows just runs the program. Start is for when
all you know is a document name, and you want Windows to go find the
associated EXE for you.

When I say it's a surprising feature, I have my Revolutionary hat on.
As a HC user, of course, I'd expect this, but in HC: (a) a background
occupies an entire card; and (b) you can only have one. So when I
learned that one could have more than one bg group in Rev, I

As an interim solution, have you tried setting the blend of a

James,
Thanks for your help. The code did not work for me as is. Namely point C
was reflected negatively, so I fixed that by using -X, then I had to
subtract Cx and Cy from A's location in order to offset C correctly. But
after that it worked perfectly! Thanks again for your quick response.
