Buttons Buttons are activated by clicking them with the mouse and are used for initiating action. A Button may have an Icon and, in the latest versions of HyperCard, can be used as a container for text. Much of the power of HyperCard is in the buttons. Buttons are often used to link cards, and can be linked to any card in the stack. Also by clicking a button you can move from one stack to another.
Buttons can also be use for sound.
Once you know how to work with text, graphic and buttons you can start changing your stacks to make them more useful to you. HyperCard stacks can be purchased or created from scratch. Different stacks can have cards of different sizes. You can have more than one stack of cards open on the screen at a time. All cards have a foreground and a background.
