- While Hypercard cannot dim buttons or fields, you can give the appearance
- that they're dim.
-
- What it takes:
- 1. Canvas (or a similar paint program that does logical bitmap overlays)
- 2. Do a screenshot of the card you want.
- 3. Paste it into Canvas, then make a box over your first bMap
- 4. Fill is with the 50% shade.
- 5. Select the logical AND copy mode - this will turn your grapic into
- 50% shade.
- 6. Paste this into a new card.
- 7. Now when the user clicks the check btn, simply make the script
- go to the new card.

- Yes, it's a hack, but it works. What? I didn't write HyperCard - don't
- blame me! ^
