I've been trying to work with color PICT's in HC 2.0 using the Picture XCMD which is nicely documented in the Power Tools Stack. The initial picture call works fine, except when I had to locate the PICT file it pasted a bitmap of "find files in..." card on my card. Thereafter I was unable to resize the window, move it, or hide it, the last being especially bad when you called up a window without a close box. I was using variations on the following script: on mouseup Picture "MyPict",file wait 5 seconds hide window "MyPict" end mouseup The first time I ran this script it closed the window, thereafter the window just sat there. Other set commands trying to impact the location and size of the window failed similarly. Has anyone else had trouble with this? -Michael Sherer sherer@oucmail.cc.nd.edu University of Notre Dame Standard Disclaimer

In article <1990Nov15.191900.10802@news.nd.edu> sherer@oucmail.cc.nd.edu (Michael Sherer) is having trouble with this script after running it multiple times: > on mouseup > Picture "MyPict",file > wait 5 seconds > hide window "MyPict" > end mouseup You should use "close window ...". Hiding a window leaves the window around, but makes it invisible. Therefore we get confused because there quickly becomes multiple windows with the same name. We always choose the first window that matches the name, visible or not... -------------------------------------------------------------------- Steve Maller Disclaimer: Please don't tell anyone Software Commando you saw me here.
