- I tried a simple script with HyperCard 2.1 under E/NS 1.99q9. I took
- the script from HyperTalk 2.0: The Book by Winkler and Kamins. If I
- hold down the option key and am using the browse tool, I can drag
- the button. (My Option key is the NeXTstation Alternate key.)
-
- Here's the script:
- -- lets you drag the button if option key is down
- -- from HyperTalk 2.0: the book, by Winkler and Kamins
- on mouseDown
- if the optionKey is up then pass mouseDown
- repeat until the mouse is up
- set loc of me to the mouseLoc
- end repeat
- exit to HyperCard -- suppress mouseUp
- end mouseDown
-
- on mouseUp
- play "boing"
- end mouseUp

- By the way, someone complained earlier about not being able to run
- HyperCard. They were trying HyperCard 1.2.1. As far as I know, you
- have to use at least HyperCard 2.0. As with other apps, ARDI supports
- more recent versions and won't work on getting older versions to run
- if a more recent version works. I haven't tried later versions (beyond
- HyperCard 2.1) or the Executor 2 Beta.
