Well, IF and only IF the cards are in the same order in the index field 
as they are in the stack then the following handler is amazingly quick 
(on my SE it takes about 3 secs to go to the card as opposed to 
sometines 60 or 80 secs; OK I Really shoudn't try to get some 500 cards 
in one stack) but here goes (Oops I Alomost forgot the script asuumes 
that the index card is on a DIFFERENT bg than the cards you're looking 
for and that the cards you're looking for are ALL in one bg)

on mouseup
  visual effect dissolve to black
  visual effect dissolve to card
  go card (item 2 if the clickline) in bg "Data Cards"
end mouseup

(BTW I'm Typing this from the top of my head (which sits quite 
uncomfortably thank you) but I'm sure it is something like the above 
script)

My understanding was that HyperCard stayed within its 1024k memory limit,
regardless of how big or small the stack was.  You can change that value with
Get Info, but I would never go smaller.

Summary: What are standard hypercard image formats?
Keywords: format, image
Date: 1 Sep 92 01:52:50 GMT
Organization: PANIX Public Access Unix, NYC

I have been given some hypercard stacks which contain images
(line drawings).  I need to transform them into a non-standard
graphics format.  So I need to know how to read the binary files:
boundaries between pictures, size, bits per pixel, etc.
I would appreciate references to published material or even better,
email, as I do not regularly read this newsgroup.

PRESS "n" NOW IF YOU DON'T CARE WHY I WANT THIS INFO


For those of you who are curious, these stacks were made by
psychologists for an experiment on cognition, in particular, the
ease of recognizing an object from a fragmentary drawing.  We
want to run this experiment with electrodes attached to the subjects'
scalps in order to measure their brain activity while they're
recognizing (or not recognizing).

The experiment is controled by a Concurrent (formerly Masscomp)
computer which has a Unix operating system enhanced for real-time
operation, various devices for data-acquistion (a/d converter,
programmable clocks, etc, etc.), and a separately programmable
graphics system. (Believe it or not, the CPU and graphics processor
are both 68020's).  The graphics format I need to convert the
images in the stacks to is very simple: 1 byte = 1 pixel.  Then I
tell the graphics processor the screen coordinates I want the
image placed at and the address of the array containing the info.
After that I blit the image to memory and then save all the images
I need in a big file.  When I run the experiment, the graphics
processor blits the images from memory to the screen.
If any of you want more details, I'll be glad to supply them.

Are you 'using' the stack in your script chain?  If so, to compact the
stack you might try

-- note: these are hypertalk commands
stop using stack (the short name of this stack)
doMenu "Compact Stack"
start using stack (the short name of this stack)


But to solve your real problem, you might try optimizing some of your
scripts into XCMDs/XFCNs.

Hi
I need some help with printing reports from HC 2.1

I have designed a stack at home to which I have created a report.

I want to info from each card to be printed on a new page but still have
the possibilty for each field to change height. 
I'm using DynoPage to make each "page" in reality a half-page.
(I hope this describtion makes sense, if not please ask !!)

This works perfectly on my Portable at home (at least in the preview
window of DynoPage) but when I copy the stack to my Mac at work the info
from each card gets printed directly after eachother, i.e. no pagebreaks.

Why ?

I'm sure that this is a fairly simple question but I can't find out why.

Yes.  Look in the script of the card button named "Send Message..."
for the following lines:
 
  send "Apple event Primer"  && quote & theNews & <option-return>

Help!  I just spent the last 4 hours writing and testing a button script.
I accidentally hit the delete key with this button selected using the
button tool.  Bingo, the button is gone.  I immediately did a hard power off
from the back of the machine (I was hoping that this result wouldn't have been
written yet).  But it was gone when I came back.  So I have tried the theory 
that the script might still be in the stack file somewhere, just in the free 
space.  So I copied the file, changed its type to TEXT, creator MACA, and 
looked at it with MS Word 4.0.  I couldn't find my text, alas....Although I did 
find all kinds of old scripts that I got rid of a long while ago....

Any ideas?  I am resigned to the prospect that there is no hope.  However,
I would love any info anyone has.

Oh yeah, I should say that I was running HC 1.2.5.

Open the script, and choose Print Script from the File menu (or Cmd-P).  This works
in HyperCard 2.1; I'm not sure about earlier versions.

Reply-To: kuehne@ccwf.cc.utexas.edu (kuehne)

I have two questions concerning possible HyperCard bugs.  (I am running HC 2.1
on a Classic-II running system 7).

The first problem concerns the clickLine in a locked scrolling field.  On mouseUP,
the field script uses the clickLine to insert a return before the line.  However,
if the browser was clicked just barely between two lines, the second invocation of
the clickLine (i.e. *after* inserting the return) gives a different line (one more
line from the first invocation), even though the mouse was not clicked.  My work-around
is to put the second word of the clickLine into temp, and use temp from there-on.  This
does not happen when the mouse is clicked squarely in the middle of a line.

The second problem concerns the command
click at h,v with shiftKey
I have a script for a locked scrolling field which checks if the shiftKey is down.
When I do the click manually with the mouse and keyboard, the script recognizes that
the shiftKey is down.  However, when a button script uses the command
click at h,v with shiftKey,
where h,v is in the field, the script doesn't get that the shiftKey is down i.e.
the shiftKey is down is false.  It would be very convenient to use click at h,v with
shiftKey, instead of working around this problem.  Any ideas?

It's not LocalTalk that's the bottleneck, surprisingly enough--it's the
LaserWriter. I've taken 20 minutes to print a colour image in greyscale on a
LaserWriter IINTX. The same image sent to a colour printer, like an NEC
ColorMate PS or a RasterOps CorrectPrint, would print in 3-4 minutes at
the most--also over a LocalTalk connection.

You may also get the same sort of speedup from a current LaserWriter model.

Thanks very much for posting this.  Here's how to get information back
from HyperCard.

HyperCard will report errors in the reply parameter with keyword
keyErrorString, not keyErrorNumber.  So, in your code, change this:

>   myError = AEGetParamPtr( &theReply, keyErrorNumber, typeLongInteger,
&actualType,

to this:

    myError = AEGetParamDesc( &theReply, keyErrorString, typeChar, 

If myError indicates that there is no such parameter, then there was no
error in executing the script.

You can get computed data back from HyperCard as well.  When the script
has been executed, if there's anything contained in "the result" HyperCard
will send it back to you in the direct parameter of the reply.

If you're looking for a client-server paradigm, then there are a bunch
of options.  HyperCard is, for example, the choice of Sybase for
Macintosh client software.  If you can find some of the Oracle
externals (although Oracle prefers using the Spinnaker solution) you
can go that route.  DAL is another.  If you want to go on a
client-client database (e.g. 4D), I think the only solutions available
are from 1st Desk Systems (their stuff is still in alpha/beta
depending on who you are), and I think FoxBase has a client-client
solution as well.

Apologies -- I have seen this question here before, but without
answers:  

How can I get data from my Mac's modem port into hypercard?
Is there an XCMD available either for purchase or via FTP somewhere?
I need to import numeric data at 2400 bps, and then have hypercard
make decisions based on that data.  Any suggestions will be
highly appreciated!
