Hi Deivy, First of all, welcome to the Revolution... and to the list too :-) In view of your HyperCard background, you should be able to get some work done quickly. You might want to start with the Revolution Documentation, section 'For New Developers' Click on 'Experienced HyperCard or SuperCard developer' to get an introduction to what's new for you in view of your background. Also, following the tutorials will be a lifesaver in the vast ocean of Revolution's abilities. This may also explain why the Revolution Documentation looks so daunting : there's lots to describe, and trust me, it's all in there. Jeanne A.E. Devoto did an excellent job, reminding us on a regular basis that we can find the answer to this question under that header in the encyclopedia, and that it would be good to read up on this how-to or that cookbook recipe. Go to the 'Help' menu, select Revolution Documentation, go to the Roadmap, and click away ; you might find the "How to" and "Cookbook" especially interesting. Everything is cross-referenced by means of the 'See also' menu buttons all over the place. As for porting your HyperCard stack to Revolution, the place on the web to visit is Jacqueline Landman Gay's excellent tutorial on the topic. Link : http://www.hyperactivesw.com/mctutorial/index.html And whenever there's a question, this list is here for you, with lots of people willing to answer questions, help solve problems, etc. As a pool of knowledge, this place competes with the Great Lakes. Hope this helped, Jan Schenkel. ===== "As we grow older, we grow both wiser and more foolish at the same time." (La Rochefoucauld) __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
