- Hello SuperCard & HyperCard users!
-
- I have recently managed to use the Apple QTMovie XCMD in both HyperCard
- and SuperCard 1.6. Fine. However, I cannot seem to get the QTPict XCMD
- working under SuperCard. It will work with HyperCard and even the
- CompressPict command works with SuperCard but not the DisplayPict
- command.
-
-
- My script is
- on mouseup
- global vol --volume path contains: Hard_Disk:Roger:
- QTPict DisplayPict,vol & "butterfly","10,10",file
- put the result
- end mouseup
-
- It returns
-
- Error :Unable to find the PICT file...[9999]
-
- What is the reason for this when the full volume path is supplied and
- the CompressPict command works fine with the same file and path? Is there
- some trick to this XCMD or is it just incompatible with SuperCard :-(
-
- If anyone has managed to display QT compressed picture files using
- SuperCard or knows of another XCMD which does the job, I would appreciate
- the information.
-
- p.s. I'd use HyperCard to do this if only I could detect updatewindow
- messages (which SuperCard supports) so the pictures could be redrawn
- when the card is revealed from behind moved or closed windows.
-
- Thankyou,
- Roger Loh.
