Re: Any Idea?

No, that won't do it either.
I think your comment about put the text into a field is correct:

Code: Select all

put URL(“file:” & <filepath>)
That should give the OP what is needed.

Re: Any Idea?

Well then how about trying:

Code: Select all

instead?

This is interesting. How to download?
I watched a couple of videos on the internet so I am somewhat familiar with it.
Just curious.

Re: Cannot use a menu

Could it be that the button is grouped?
I don't know why that would make a difference.

Re: Browser widget and local files?

The dictionary says "set the URL of widget to pUrl" is the command. Therefore to display the document, place this in front like this: file:///Users/richmond/Desktop/Hax 11 April/Test/Richmond Mathewson.html Note that there are three slashes in front. Save and close the file. <--Important, I think. R...

Re: A beginner’s neverending list of questions

I think Klaus was correct when he said:
that is managed by the backgroundcolor of your stack
That is different from the backdrop which does allow you to specify the color (see the Dictionary).

Re: QR code

Hutchboy:
We must think the same way. I put together a sample stack with similar results.
My stack provides some additional error checking; look at the script of the button.

Oops. You are correct. Sorry about that; I just saw the association with the browser not realizing the effect it had.

Re: Scroll of browser widget

Hello hrcap:
Look in the Dictionary under the term: vScrollbar
with the association: Browser
It shows the get and set commands for the Browser widget.

I realize this will be slow in comparison to the alternatives ...

Re: Issues with Unit 2, Lesson 7 Assignment

Popup menu (popup) 5. Tabbed menu (tabbed) you will see the menuMode of that button. The generic button's m...
