I saw the thread a bit late but here is the thing that "popped" to mind... Before i typed the fourth word in reply, I said basta! Script it!
So StripesList.rev is a cool 5 minute hack template to demo how to make stripes scroll in all simplicity! http://monsieurx.com/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownload&cid=11 It's the last item in the list. Not all the field (returnkey, pastekey, dropin in the field) are implemented but you can add them and reply back with you additions so I can improve on the basic model - the "striping synchronizer" for the field is in the card script. The scrolling is handled by the field only (could be solidified with an add-on or two* in the card script for saves, and opens from last sessions). But hey, that's not paying my bills... Im just trying to help scroll the stripes! ;) Since MetaCard, my script editor templates have scrolling line-number rulers for easier error-to-script navigation! These allow selections in the script editor that are much easier than dragging the mouse in the editor's field! I have to work on that editor again soon for some more nitrous!!! But now it will be even more colorful! ;) http://monsieurx.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=117 OK, that's old looks, I know... (neither the last release posted - and far from the current version which is the transcriptolator and EditN2O!) That was MetaCard! My new workbench is much better and uses lists a lot!!! http://www.monsieurx.com/hyper/xos/screenshots/index.php And this trick will be something that be welcome in my bag of tricks! Thanks again for the idea! Enjoy the stack! ciao!
