This one killed me.
I imported an old HC stack, and ungrouped a few groups. I kept getting
errors that there was "no such object" when I referred to certain
fields. Rev
apparently groups HC bg objects (but not cd objects) when it imports.
The problem went away when, on a lark, I added "cd" to my field
references:
I can put "foo" into cd fld myField, but cannot put "foo" into fld
myField.
I just assumed that since there was only one kind of field in Rev (a
nice
simplification when you get used to it) that the engine would know
what I was
talking about and make all imported fields, of whatever original kind,
well, fields.
So I made a new HC stack with two cd flds, two bg flds, two cd btns
and two
bg btns. I brought this into Rev and saved it. All imported fields,
whether
cd or bg in HC, must be referenced with "cd fld" in Rev.
There is no such issue with buttons. Though bg buttons are also
imported in
a group, ungrouping them leaves only one kind of Rev button. Both
"btn" and
"cd btn" references are valid, regardless of what sort they started
out as.
This syntax holds also for buttons created in Rev itself.
I get the accommodation for HC script compatibility, but this is
backwards
for fields at a minimum, and wierd to boot. There are two kinds of Rev
fields, no? Any way to make the "cd" version without importing from
HC?
Craig,
Are you familiar with the HCaddressing property? It determines whether
the cd or bg domain modifiers are required when referring to fields.
When I import HyperCard stacks the first thing I do is set the
HCAddressing to false and go through and change all of the cd and bg
object references to plain old button or field.
