Howdy, I seem to recall there was once a way for HC to display sideways (rotated) characters. Is there any way to do this or was that just my imagination? All...
... Sure: Use the graphic tools. Lay down bitmapped text, then select the bitmap and rotate it. Another possibility is to play with a text track in a QuickTime...
"Painted" text certainly can be displayed sideways, mirrored, distorted or any other way that you can transform paint. You can do this programmatically using ...
Hello Eric, ... Yeah! You could use images that look like buttons that have been rotated. Take snapshot of a button, crop the image, rotate it, save it,...

... OK thanks for the info. What I was hoping for was font manipulation, because I have to change the text on-the-fly. It has to show calulated numbers as a...
I would recommend a field actually. Then you can change the text. If you must have the text displayed vertically you could try using a very narrow field and...

Hi, I had to sit through another boring lecture today. The entire time I am staring at my newt, wondering why I haven't bothered trying to port stacks to it,...
... Idea: Use one card of the stack as a repository for rotated bitmap text. Since you're making this yourself, you know exactly where all the characters are;...
Hey Eric. Yep, we've all dreamed it at some point. It comes from staring at a stack for a long time. Eventually you start to see that black and white field...
Took a blank (as in totally empty) home stack and a fresh copy of HyperCard (PPC version) and opened them up under Tiger. I can enter scripts in the message ...
Since upgrading to Tiger, Hypercard can no longer find stacks using the Stacks search paths. Whenever I type 'go "foo"', I get a dialog asking where foo is. I...
Eric, Why don't you use one of the marching ants externals? Depending on the external, you would need a script like this: marchingAnts put the result into...

Exactly the kind of thing I've been seeing. To edit the script of the home stack you can go to another stack and type "edit script of home" in the message box....
