Hy to everybody....

My problem is simple.....i need a visual Navigator to select fast a card like in

hypercard, i know you may say to me...use the application browser , but it's

a little too uncomfortable.....

it would be easy like a navigator palette.......

I thank you so much...

Hi Letroso,

You could make a stack with a hidden button. The button should contain a front script. The front script should send a message to the stack, each time the preOpenStack message is detected. For example:

Code: Select all

on preOpenStack
  send "updateCards" to stack "Navigator"
end preOpenStack

The updateCards handler of your stack should automatically create buttons. To determine how many buttons and where the buttons should bring the user, use the recentCards function.

You can import a snapshot of each card when it opens, adjust the dimensions of the resulting image and set the icon of the respective button to the id of that image.

Of course, the buttons need scripts to show a particular card.

This should be sufficient to make a HyperCard-like recents interface.

Best,

Mark

Hi Lesotro,

I hope you understood me well. You need to write the updateCards handler yourself (therefore "should").

Good luck.
