SuperCard 1.0, Mac IIcx, 4 meg Is this me, or SuperCard... I want to set the hilite of a button from within a field script. I'd also like to set the 'visible' of same button (and other objects). It won't work.. not nohow. I can get things to work just fine if I use a button to act as the trigger to a script (held in the background) but the identical script won't act if I try to access it from my field... it's accessed, but doesn't /work/!! I've tried sending a mouseup to my button, and clicking on the loc of the button - nope. The script seems to be read - beeps go beep - but it refuses to act on hilite and visible/ invisible qualities. Apologies if I've missed something obvious - I know HyperCard much better, but needed boldface and standard text in the same field... - duncan ps I know HC 2.0 will give me what I want - any bets on when it'll reach the UK??!! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- dl1@ukc.ac.uk duncan langford computing lab., university of kent, uk -----------------------------------------------------------------------
