Hi Mark;
Sorry about that my questions are unclear. It's been some time since I
dabbled with HyperCard. Maybe if I went back to the tutorial, that comes
with HC, my question would be answered.
So O.K. I'll try again: Let's say that I'm building a stack of cards
about snakes. There are two procedures that I want to do. First, I would
like link a button or picture to another card that features a legend of
the snake in the garden, that's easy to do since I'm working within the
stack, within HC. The other thing that I would want to do is to link the
card to a webpage, that the explains the evolution of snakes. Since HC
was before, or at least an alternative to the WWW, it seems that two
formats are incompatible, I couldn't simply make a button on the card,
which, when clicked, would open the evolution website. IOW, card--->
card, sound possible, card--->website, seems to be not. If I am wrong,
please tell me how I do it.
By the way, when I refer to HC-like apps, I mean the swarm of things
things that appeared after HC, such as SuperCard, MetaCard, Runtime
Revolution, etc... I haven't used any of them but they all seem to use
the card metaphor. The presentation that I'm working on, consists of
discrete chunks of information, and it would be more striking if it was
in a card format rather than a HTML pages.
Am I making myself clearer? TIA.
Henry
