No, you can't import HC stacks. You might be able to *port* HC stacks,
by hand. Foundation is similar to HC in scripting language and overall
object-oriented design, but the user interface is very different.

Very worse.

On an unaccelerated Amiga, Foundation is dog-slow. The manual is lousy,
lousy, lousy. There is a hypertext "encyclopedia" (help file) which is
much better than the manual, but to use it, you must be in the 'browse'
mode. If you're writing a script, and need some help from the encyclopedia,
you have to quit the 'modify' mode and go into the 'browse' mode,
and that takes about 10 seconds, then browse the encyc. until you find
what you need, then remember it, then go back to the modify mode, then
re-load the script you are on. Pain in the butt.

There are many bugs.

There is no support. The only time I've heard from 'support' is when I
warn people about it, like I am doing now. Then I get flamed... Once
I was told to write for a fix for one of the bugs, and I did, but 
never got a reply. I have not recieved *one* piece of mail from them.

CanDo is a much better product. Not a wannabe Hypercard, but an authoring
system nonetheless. And I get upgrade disks in the mail from them 
without asking. Has a good manual, and direct support of DPaint style
animbrushes. It is a better multimedia presentation system.

I just wish Foundation worked. The *idea* of it, Hypercard for the 
Amiga, is a very good one. The implementation is dudu.

Just my 2 cents.

Got a few questions for anybody that knows something about Amiga-Vision
and the like. I'd like to set up an unmanned business in a few places
here in the city. The setup would have a few products that changed weekly
(these would be behind plexiglass) and a touch screen. Potential customers
would be able to gawk at the products on display and then order them
through the touch screen. You'd be able to cycle through about 45 products
, so if you saw something neat on display last week and it wasn't on
display this week you could cycle through the pictures and discriptions
until you found the product then select it. You'd then be prompted to
enter your credit card number and address. The product would be shipped
to your door about four weeks later. 
 
Now that you have a feel for what I'm after I'll start bombing you with 
questions. Would Amiga Vision be the best software for this application?
I've got it already but never played with it much. Would you be able
to design an Amiga Vision program that would store addresses and credit
card numbers so I could pick them up late at night? The object here
is to make this booth totally automated. How much is a decent touchscreen?
Is there anyone out there that could scan in full color pictures? For a
fee of course. Any idea on the total system requirements? Memory, 
drive space etc... And finally how tough do you think this would be to
set up?
 
 
                                Thanks for your time.

I hope I understand this question... :-)

If you have a screen with several objects on it, AV Professional will give you 
the numeric values for whichever object is the selected (active) one. If you 
want to see the values for another object, just select it (by clicking on it).

Ahem... I believe the original poster wanted to sort of like *record

Thank you for informing us of the capabilities of your fine product. I

CD-DA tracks can't be sent to the CDTV RAM. The audio and the computer

Even if you could directly read DA tracks into memory, you'd get something

I have a similar problem with several A2300's.  When running AmigaVision
programs that use a laserdisc, the computer graphics become a jittering
double-image during most screen transitions.

A sure fire way to see the problem is go into edit the overscan prefs
under 2.04 and the same artifact appears.  Anyone else have this problem,
or better yet, can offer a SOLUTION?

Bummer. But I think there might be a way of hacking it. After all the
data from the CD-ROM must get to the CPU somehow in order to execute
the code that is stored there. I am not saying that CD-DA goes the
same way, but there must be a register somewhere in there that tells
the disc subsystem where to throw it's data.

Now, from the docs that I have the disc sub-system spews the data at
the cpu at ~170K/s. The data comes in bursts, about 3ms(?) apart. Now,
that leads me to an assumption that somewhere in there hides the
error correction that the machine performs. But wait, there's more...
It also says in these magic books that there is a buffer which is
split into three parts: Raw data, Data being corrected and the end
product.

Hell, if CBM will give me enough info to bash the hardware or provide
some device calls to gimme enough control over what I'm getting from
the disc, I will write a PD utility to take samples from the CD.

>>That would be much easier and of a much better qualitiy than sampling the
>>sound via audio output and sampler.

Ofcourse it would be, it would also be a very sensible way of doing
it since you can finetune your timing.

As if it was hard to convert that to 8-bit samples. At the simplest
level you could just take the upper byte from the word stored on CD.
If you want to get sophisticated you can always do some processing
of the sound. Chances are that you will want to down-sample the data
from 41kHz down to about 18kHz, but all of that isn't that much work.

So if I'm building a rectangular button, I can set up a rectangle, and AVP will
show me the size and position values for it - (so far so good :-) ). Now, if
I've previously drawn a picture of several buttons in a paint package, and I
want to use one of those button drawings as the image for the button I'm
building in AV, I can select _part_ of the paint package picture to use as the
image for my AV button, correct? What I was wondering, is does the AV numeric
readout include something that tells me that the currently displayed part of
the image starts at <x,y> pixels into the paint package image?

That way, if I'd used the paint package to draw the buttons starting at say 40
pixel intervals, I'd know I'd picked exactly the right part of the image in AV
when the offset was a multiple of 40.

Or do I have to draw the buttons seperately, one per paint package image?

(It's a while since I tried this in AV, so I may be a bit rusty.. I remember
trying this in 1.53g and winding up zapping things with a binary editor to
try to get things to line up neatly, before moving on to a 'C' version..)
