Organization: Wheaton College
Date: Mon, 21 Dec 1992 14:11:58 GMT

From everything I've tried and read, there doesn't seem to be any easy
way to access a field in a stack other than the current one.  For example,
I couldn't do something like this:

get cd field TestField of card TestCard of stack TestStack

Is there any nice way around this?

The ticks are probably not the best unit of measure here, since, if I am
not mistaken, tickas are *roughly* clock cycles, and can vary quite
substatially, depending on what the machine is being asked to do.
Using the seconds would be much easier and more reliable. (of course,
if I am mistaken, I trust the net.wisdom to correct my erring ways ;-)

I assume that you can't change the names of your buttons to something
like "Button 23" since you're using the Show Names option.  I don't know
if this will work, but you might try changing the name of your button
to " 23 " (note the blanks).  Since you put a space on each side, it 
should still center properly, but when you say 
  card button " 23 "
it may realize that you meant to use a name rather than a number.

Yes, this is very straightforward.  Some following sample statements are
shown below:

    put the abbr date into theDate
    convert theDate to seconds -- the answer goes into theDate
    put theDate + 24*60*60 into theDate
    convert theDate to abbrev date
    convert theDate to dateItems

    get the time
    get the short time
    get the long time
    convert the long time to dateItems -- a comma separated list of 7
items;

Items 4, 5, 6 are hours; min; sec respectively.

HyperCard has very obediently selected the field for you.  Oh,
you wanted to select the _contents_ of the field?  Try this:

  select line 1 to 32000 of cd fld chalkb

(You can actually compute how many lines to select:

  select line 1 to (the number of lines of cd fld chalkb) of cd fld chalkb

but the code I gave will work faster.)

Ticks are simply 1/60 of a second.  Ticks and seconds get their information
from the same place, so neither is likely to be any better than the other.

I would like to know how to create a progress box in a script

not so hard IF I had the ribbon-filling-box.  (I want something

itself?  Also, is there an XCMD that does this, and if so,
where is it and how do I get it?  Can it be download via

If there is an XCMD, can it be oriented both vertically and
horizontally?

Certainly is.  There is no requirement that a button exist for each sound
resource or anything like that.  The creation of the button is an artifact
of the Audio Palette's scripting.  I disabled the auto-button-create a long
time ago, and thus I forget the exact lines, but you should be able to 
figure it out.

Just open the "Audio Help" stack and examine the stack script.  It's not
too long, and it's documented, so you should be in good shape.  Look for
where a new button is created and comment that stuff out.

Nate.

Hi folks, is there a way to differentiate harddisk of similar volume name?
I sometime need to access datas over an AppleTalk network but because of
the common HardDisk name such as "Macintosh HD", I always get error in
reading data into HyperCard using these remote volume. The way I overcome
this problem is to change my locate volume name to something else but this
is not the ideal solution as when others access data on my locate
harddisk, they will need to alter their script to suit it. One other way
that could have solve this problem is to use XFCN GetDir() but this is
not ideal because many of my network user are not familiar with the dialog
box interface. As such, I need to find a way to uniquely identify volume
of similar name. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks in

Careful!  This only works if all the cards in the background are sequential.
Creating a new background from any but the last card in an existing
background will separate the existing background's cards, and the formula
above will be invalid.  Sorting a split background will not reunite it.

I tried out the same operation (i.e. referring to a button name, which is
identical to the NUMBER of another button) and it worked OK for me.  Are
you putting quotes around the number when using it as a name?   e.g.
after giving a button the NAME of "3":

  get the rect of card button "3" -- this does NOT get the rect of card
button 3

If this still doesn't work and you need to work around the problem,
concatenate a word to the end of the number to create a name that now
looks like text.   e.g.:

put "xxx" into Text
set the name of button id 123 to loopCounter && Text -- button name = "23
xxx"

The button name still has the number as word 1 of the name, if this
important in the rest of your scripts, but there is now no way for it to
be confused with a number.

When you close a palette a system message Closepalette (surprize!) is sent.  

So what you need to do is to write a handler like:

on closepalette which
	if which is a then do A
	if which is b then do B
end closePalette

where which contains the name of the palette you just closed.

Hope this help.

I am the author of one of the oldest HyperCard stacks around, the
Esperanto Course stack.  I would like to create a more up-to-date
version of the stack (I already have had one major go-round to make it
work sensibly with HyperCard 2.0).

1. I would like to jazz up a few of the cards with color.  I only last
week replaced my old MacPlus (ne'e 512K) with a color-capable machine,
and am not really sure how best to proceed.  What is the cheapest
(free?) color-capable paint program that I can use to create the PICTs
necessary for this task?  What else will I need, and where do I get
it?

2. The stack uses custom fonts to display the accented Esperanto
characters.  For a long time, I was able to get away with having the
fonts glued into the stack itself as resources, but this strategy
seems to be failing for some users recently.  What is the right way to
do this?


Any other cute and snappy improvements that people can think up will
certainly be helpful; I figure that there are many features in the
more recent versions of HyperCard and in the freeware world of XCMDs
that I am entirely unaware of, so replies of the form, `did you know
that you can now (since 2.0.7) make HyperCard do such-and-so...' will
be gratefully accepted (even if I already knew about the suggested feature)!

Thanks in proverbial advance.

That should be 1/60.15 of a second.

The only thing I am doing is checking to see that the clickChunk is
not empty.  That is it.  It does this on my CI as well as my PB160.

One of my Hypercard stack got corrupted, maybe by Autodoubler. When
this happens, I usually put back the correct file and creator types
with Resedit or Filetyper and it works. But after doing this, this
stack won't open. I only get the message : "Can't open stack "Z". Passwords
don't match". I NEVER use passwords. Anyone know the source of the problem
and how to recuperate my stack?
