Hi,
I'm new to this echo, and to Hypercard, so if I am repeating an already
discussed subject, please do not jump all over me.  I have just created a
rather complex stack that aids in creating AD&D characters.  It has all
the information about races, classes, attributes, etc. on cards and
allows the user to create a character in much the same way that one does
manually, but it does all the busy work and fills in a rather elegant
character sheet.  I have discovered two glitches when using the stack:
1)  When using the ANSWER command with 2 options, sometimes the option
on the left does not appear.  If you click where it should be, it does
react, but the option is just invisible.
2)  I have some locked, fields which contain text on the character
sheet.  
One looks like:
I
t
e
m
s
When I print the card, sometimes this field is not font smoothed and
comes out bit mapped.  If I turn on the graphics smoothing option this
problem goes away on the regular Apple Laserwriters, but not on other
printers.
...
If any of you know why this happens, and how to fix it I would be
grateful.  BTW, do any of you know where I can get help developing some
animation.  I know there is a stack out there which does this, but I do
not know where to find it.
Lastly, did anybody else notice that visual effects do not work on a Mac
IIcx.  They don't work on mine.  Anybody know anything about it.
Oops.  One more thing.  I would like to have a field which is a
scrolling table.  I know how to build one combining a number of
scrolling fields, but I am not satisfied with the results.  Is there
an XCMD out there which does this?
Thanks, in advance, for all of your help.
