This converted text file was derived from a Mac HyperTalk - HyperCard Messages DA. It's presented for reference use with HyperCard stack conversions needs from the Mac to the IIgs. That's all Folks :) MacProber ---------------------------------------- HyperTalk Messages b closeBackground HyperCard sends the closeBackground message to the current card when a user (or handler) quits HyperCard or goes to a card whose background is different than the background of the current card. closeCard HyperCard sends the closeCard message to a card when a user (or script) goes to another card or quits HyperCard. closeField HyperCard sends the closeField message to an unlocked field when, after editing, a user (or handler) performs an action that closes the field. HyperCard sends closeField only when the text actually changes. closeStack HyperCard sends the closeStack message to the current card when a user (or script) opens a different stack in the current window, closes the current window, or quits HyperCard. deleteBackground HyperCard sends the deleteBackground message to the card that is being deleted if no other cards in the stack share its background. HyperCard sends the message just before the card disappears. deleteButton HyperCard sends the deleteButton message to a button that is being deleted, just before it disappears. deleteCard HyperCard sends the deleteCard message to a card that is being deleted, just before it disappears. deleteField HyperCard sends the deleteField message to a field that is being deleted, just before it disappears. deleteStack HyperCard sends the deleteStack message to the current card of the stack that is being deleted, just before HyperCard erases the stack from the disk. exitField HyperCard sends the exitField message to an unlocked field when, after clicking in a field or tabbing to it, a user (or handler) exits the field without changing any of its text. idle HyperCard repeatedly sends the idle message to the current card when no other events are occurring (all handlers have finished running and HyperCard itself isnÕt sending other messages). mouseDown HyperCard sends the mouseDown message to a button or to a locked field when the user presses the mouse button down and the pointer is inside the rectangle of the button or field. mouseEnter HyperCard sends the mouseEnter message to a button or field just after the pointer moves within its rectangle. mouseLeave HyperCard sends the mouseLeave message to a button or field just after the pointer moves outside its rectangle. mouseStillDown HyperCard repeatedly sends the mouseStillDown message to a button or to a locked field while the user holds the mouse button down and the pointer is inside the rectangle of the button or field. mouseUp HyperCard sends the mouseUp message to a button or a locked field when the user releases the mouse button and the pointer is inside the rectangle of same button or field it was in when the user pressed the mouse button (otherwise, HyperCard does not send mouseUp). mouseWithin HyperCard sends the mouseWithin message to a button or field repeatedly while the pointer is inside its rectangle. moveWindow HyperCard sends the moveWindow message to the current card when the user or a script moves the window. In many cases, HyperCard will send a sizeWindow message immediately before a moveWindow message. newBackground HyperCard sends the newBackground message to the current card (in this case, the first card of the new background) just after HyperCard creates the background. newButton HyperCard sends the newButton message to a button just after HyperCard creates it. newCard HyperCard sends the newCard message to the current card (in this case, the new one) just after HyperCard creates it. newField HyperCard sends the newField message to a field just after HyperCard creates it. newStack HyperCard sends the newStack message to the current card (in this case, the first card of the new stack) just after HyperCard creates the stack. openBackground HyperCard sends the openBackground message to the current card just after a user (or script) goes to a card whose background differs from the background of the most recent card. openCard HyperCard sends the openCard message to the current card just after a user (or handler) goes to the card. openField HyperCard sends the openField message to an unlocked field when a user (or handler) first opens it for text editing. A user opens a field for editing either by clicking in the field or by tabbing from the previous field. openStack HyperCard sends the openStack message when a user (or handler) goes to a card in a different stack than that of the most recent card. quit HyperCard sends the quit message to the current card when the user chooses Quit HyperCard from the File menu (or presses -Q), just before HyperCard quits. resume HyperCard sends the resume message to the current card when HyperCard resumes running after the user quits an application that she launched from HyperCard. resumeStack HyperCard sends the resumeStack message to the current card when the stackÕs window becomes active after being inactive (for example, when the user clicks in a window). sizeWindow HyperCard sends the sizeWindow message to the current card when the user or a script resizes the window. In many cases, HyperCard will send a moveWindow message immediately after a sizeWindow message. startUp HyperCard sends the startUp message to the first card displayed when HyperCard is first started. suspend HyperCard sends the suspend message to the current card when a user (or handler) launches an application from HyperCard with the open command, just before the application is launched. ------------------------------------------------------- -end of text file conversion-
