Richard,
Perhaps I haven't played around with this enough, but I'm having problems with the basic drawing issue. For example, if I do the following:
on mouseup choose pointer tool choose polygon tool end mouseup
and then start drawing on a buffered player object, I get an image object on top of the player object... not a graphic object.
To get a graphic use:
choose graphic tool
The individual styles of graphics are created by first setting the style of the templateGraphic.
For example, to make an oval you have this:
set the style of the templateGraphic to oval choose graphic tool
Now when you drag out across your card you'll be making an oval graphic.
I rarely use the paint tools and use the graphic tools a lot, so I'd prefer if the shape tool names ("rectangle tool", "oval tool" etc.) referred to graphic tool modes. But alas the "choose" convention was established years earlier in paint-tools-only HyperCard, so we're stuck with it. Not so bad, though, once you get the hang of it, and it gets you into the habit of using the template objects, which can be very handy (a stroke of genius, those).
