I have never been able to get the (irregular) polygon tool to draw under script control. Is this a known bug in HyperCard, or am I missing something simple? The other painting tools seem to work correctly. The behavior of scripts indicates that the tool is being selected and the drawing commands (I've tried "click at..." and "drag from ... to ..." in various combinations) are being interpreted, but nothing shows up on the card. I would appreciate receiving an example of a script that succesfully invokes the tool to draw an irregular polygon in the card picture layer.

This is a known limitation of HyperCard: you can't use the polygon tool under script control. The workaround is to use the line tool to draw the polygon. -- ========= jeanne a. e. devoto ======================================== jdevoto@apple.com | You may not distribute this article under a jdevoto@well.sf.ca.us | compilation copyright without my permission. ______________________________________________________________________ Apple Computer and I are not authorized | CI$: 72411,165 to speak for each other. |
