There are several expressions I use in my Hypercard stacks that cause errors when I open my stacks in Revolution:
set the textStyle of line x of cd fld "topicList" to group
Transcript can be less forgiving about unquoted literals that HyperTalk. In this context, you need to quote the textStyle:
set the textStyle of line x of cd fld "topicList" to "group"
if the marked of cd y is true then if the marked of cd y is true then add 1 to test
Revolution uses the "mark" property instead, so changing these to if the mark of cd y is true then will correct the problem.
put empty into the msg
The synonyms for the message box aren't as plentiful in Rev as in HC. Taking away the word "the" will work, though:
put empty into msg
or just
put empty
But the explanations I have read about rev groups vs. HC backgrounds don't help mey understand what I should DO with my background objects vs. card objects to make them work properly in Revolution.
If you're converting a stack, you shouldn't need to do anything - the backgrounds of the HyperCard stack will be automatically converted to groups. Are there specific problems you're experiencing...?
