I previously reported that HC and Reports will work fine under Tiger if you move HC to a non startup partition (FW drive, RAM Disk, etc.) It turns out that I...
Thanks to everyone who supplied their opinions and input. I really do appreciate it :) :) I did also read as much of the online documentation for SC and...
... Sure you can. You're mistaken. In Rev you can set a group's background behavior, which emulates the background of a HC stack, and the group is scriptable....

Hi Alain, ... Sure, if you're saying there are no absolutes in programming methods. I'll buy that. ... Well, I'm only now stepping gingerly into C and Cocoa,...

Hello Dan, ... My main OS these days is Ubuntu Linux (Debian). I keep a G3 around for HyperCard work, and BBEdit too, but it (e.g. my Mac) does not get much...

... That's not quite correct for MetaCard/Revolution. If a group's backgroundBehavior is set to true, this affects two things about the group: 1) It is placed...

... Well, it clarifies that MC/RR groups are one of the hardest concepts for HyperCarders to wrap their heads around. Some of what you said isn't quite right,...
Alain, Dan, I think you are both engaging in prophylactic self criticism. I doubt much that either of you are criticizing the other, rather I think you are...
Still trying to find a free web host to upload stacks to... preferably with huge bandwidth since I am also working on movies... suggestions appreciated......
... Sorry Eric but I don't recall what you wanted to do with this, but if it's simply a matter of posting stacks to a server where others can download them...
Hello Eric, ... I'm not 100% sure what you mean by "prophylactic" but it sure sounds colourful! ;-)) ... I was being [overly] optimistic while Dan was being ...
Hello Richard, ... Perhaps I should have made myself clearer. By "bkgnd *stuff*", I meant bkgnd-parts. New more-detailed scenario for clarity : You have...

This is also one of the reasons that adding menus to Rev stacks that already have cards is so problematic - menus in Rev being background groups. With HC you...
Hello Jacque and y'all, ... Yes, I am a Hypercarder at heart, but I have been using MetaCard for at least a couple of years so far. I've developped several...

They say when effective people need to get something done, all rules of protocol and manners are defenestrated, or something like that. I'm not being coy about...
... You can add an object to a group with background behavior in Rev at anytime, too, and it will also be shared by all cards in that group. There is a...
... Well, no. ;) It works just as it did in HyperCard. If you go into background editing mode and create new parts, they become part of that background and are...
