[comp.sys.mac.hypercard] How to dismiss a PICT resource shown with "picture" command

fleming@cup.portal.com (Stephen R Fleming) (04/04/91)

Ralph,

If you're using plain rect pictures, then the user can't relocate
them.  If he can't relocate them, then you can put locked fields (or
buttons) behind them.  Delete the mouseDownInPicture script, and the
fields/buttons will inherit the mouseclick.  Put the go-away function
there.

This only works for pictures inside the card window, of course.  If
you're floating plain rects outside of the card window, then you're
violating user interface guidelines and should give them title bars! 
:-)  :-)
