[comp.sys.mac.hypercard] XCMD PasteToScrapbook ?

21602MR@MSU.BITNET (Mark Rosenberg) (11/26/89)

We're working on a project and need some help... We have created a graphics
database that is located on an appleshare fileserver and we'd like for people
to be able to click on an image and then have it automatically pasted into
their scrapbook without the user having to change tools and copy/paste stuff.
Does anyone know of an xcmd which will paste the contents of the clipboard to
the scrapbook ?  Would anyone be willing to write one ?  Is it possible to use
rescopy to do this ?

Thanks,

   With MacroMaker you could create a menu item that:
      pulls out ScrapBook
      paste

   Then you script in HyperCard could go something like:
 
   choose select tool
   drag from x,y to x+100, y+100
   domenu "copy picture"
   domenu "macro to scrapbook"
   choose browse tool
