How do I get an snd resource (or any kind) out of a SuperCard project? Since the resources aren't stored in the resource fork, ResEdit or SoundEdit is no good for finding them as far as I can tell.

I'm not sure if anyone else is interested in this, but the answer is that unless you write an xcmd to retrieve a resource from SuperCard, there is no way to get a sound, icon, etc. from a SuperCard project to anyplace else. To me, this does not seem like a good way to manage the resources (storing them in the data fork). The argument for this was that there is a limit on the number of files you can have open at once, and by eliminating the need for a resource fork for every project, you double the number of projects you can have open at once. -Brian Reilly

Deleting them is easy. Moving them from one project to another is also easy. Changing them I have no idea. When you open the project in SuperEdit, click on the 'R' (resources) at the bottom-left of the project overview (or choose Resources from the View Menu). You then get a list of all the resources assigned to the project and can cut, copy, paste, and delete from project to project. I have successfully imported snd resources from MacRecorder stuff by converting the stack to a SuperCard Project also.
