Say, Net-Hyper-Hackers, has anybody done this yet?
I have a scrapbook file full of PICTs. How can I use Hypercard (2.0)
to browse the PICTS in the scrapbook?
I'm trying to use the Picture XCMD, looking at the "Power Tools" stack,
both the Picture card and the Resource Mover card, to figure out how to
do it.
Correct me if I'm wrong (need I ask, this IS the net :) ) but it looks
like if you use the Picture XCMD to show a resource, it expects to find
the resource in a stack. Can't it display PICTs from other files?
I even tried to script it so it would copy the resource into the stack,
then play ("picture") it. This acts strangely, the first time I try to
"picture" it, it says "Not enough memory". The second time I ask for
the "picture" it shows up. But after a few of these, the program "quits
unexpectedly".
Anybody have any insight into how I can use Hypercard to browse a
scrapbook?
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
