[comp.sys.mac.hypercard] HC 2.0 and Link To BUG?

rapickering@miavx1.acs.muohio.edu (11/03/90)

I think I have a bug or something.

What I'd like is some reasonable explanation for what's occuring in HC 2.0.

I'm currently developing a stack for commerical release.

What I'm doing is front ending a manual for a friend of mine.
Therefore I have a lot of "link to" commands within my stack.

The problem:  I'm creating buttons for multiple choice quizes and giving the
              correct answers effects and then linking them to a 'correct
              answer card'.  After I've done about 10 - 12 buttons I will
              all of a sudden not be able to open the script editor.
	      If you are within the button dialog and select link to the 
              machine just beeps and drops out of the dialog.  If you select
              the script button it just replies that it cannot open the 
              script editor.  Quitting out of hypercard and re-starting
              seems to fix the problem temporarily.

Hypothesis:  Is there any kind of limit to the number of times you select
             the link to feature within the button dialog.  I know it 
             sounds really silly, but I can't think of anything else.
             It also seems only to happen after I've selected an effect and 
             then re-entered the dialog to select link to.

Thanks in advance.

Correct. This was a bug in HyperCard 2.0. It will be fixed in 2.0v2: The 
Claris Release.
