A friend of mine is working on a supercard stack, and is having some serious problems with speed. It seems that the color images slow down movement from one card to the next considerable. Also, the problem is not nearly as bad when text on the screen is not modified. If anyone has any suggestions as to what the problem is or possible fixes, please let me know asap. Thanks in advance.

When you start your project make sure that the windows left edge is at a good location. If you drag a hypercard window you notice that the window is gridded to word alignment. So if your user drags one of you windows around you can check its location and reposition it if nessesary. I know its against the HI rules to move things around after the user moves it but the speed penalty is tremendous if the window is not aligned. (even more so for color windows). -- ___________________________________________________________ Matthew Mora SRI International mxmora@unix.sri.com ___________________________________________________________
