Here's the sample script:

--------

On MouseUp
	.
	.
	.
	wait for 10 seconds
	visual effect dissolve
	go to next card
End MouseUp

--------

It would be nice if when one selects a tool from the tools palette, card
scripts would become inactive, as this would avoid many a hastle when creating
and editing an automated HyperCard presentation.

As it is now, I have to enter a unique name for each card, and remember/write
down it's name and where it appears in the stack, then type "edit script of
card CARDMNAME" from the command box whenever a change needs to be done...
