I found a really nice tutorial that helped get me up & running (http://www.subcide.com/tutorials/csslayout/) but I've run into a problem and I'm hoping for some help. I have a layout I really like with two columns and it uses an external stylesheet. The problem is there are some pages on the...

I think it's a bit too strong and unreasonbale to say that. Streamline may be somewhat more effective but only to a certain degree. If you're trying to convert something like a photo of a person to a vector, you're asking for something impractical. There's a reason both raster and vector...

Old post, hopefully you figured this out by now, but just in case anyone else happens across this... You need to use the URLEncode() function to convert the strings to proper URL encoding (it will convert the spaces to "%20" and clean up any other possible snags so PHP & the server can process...

Is there a reason you need to know which program they have. You could use the Launch Default Broswer knowledge object or just just a jumpout -- JumpOut("", "index.html") If you really need to know, for some specific setting something, you could use a function in Buddy API called FindApp()...

In the Properties for Display (and Interaction) icons, there is a layer setting. You can put a number in there--the higher the number, the higher the layer. Negative numbers work too, though I'm not sure what the limits are as far as min & max allowable layer settings but that should be...

MediaPause(IconID@"Sound Icon Title", TRUE) will pause it. Replace the TRUE with FALSE to unpause it & resume play. MediaSeek(IconID@"Sound Icon Title", position) where position is the position in milliseconds. Using the MediaPosition system variable, you could do: MediaSeek(IconID@"Sound...

Does anyone know of places I can look to find out statistics about what computer hardware & operating systems the general public is using? I'm in the early stages of a project and we're trying to determine what level we can design for to reach the greatest audience while still delivering an...

Yeah, I know about the cross posting--but it just seems like this is an underlying issue that many/most developers should consider--regardless of whether they develop for the web, CD, LAN or hard drive and no matter what language. I think the issue is equally important to some one using C++...

Ok so I'm cross posting this to various boards and I realize that it's probably less of an issue for web developers than the sofware/browser side but... Does anyone know of places I can look to find out statistics about what computer hardware & operating systems the general public is using...

The simplest way is to just write the data out in a text file (comma or tab or special character delimited) and then import it into a table in Acccess (I'm assuming that's the MS database you're working with). Otherwise a more difficult option is to use a third party tool like Datagrip or V12...

I've had some problems with the resume method on the Modify / File / Properties / Interaction approach. One thing to try is to make sure you manually save the records before quitting--Authorware is supposed to automatically do this when you quit but under some circumstances, it doesn't seem to...

For the "browse" button, you can use the KO like Ron said--it's called "Browse Folder Dialog Knowledge Object" in Authorware 5. There are other UCD's & such that you could use as well, but the KO is probably the simplest and easiest. The option Ron gave might be the easiest...

Assuming they have a reasonably current version of Windows Media Player, you can pass command arguments to do things like fullscreen. The links below should be helpful. You may have to test it and possibly use BudAPI or similar to find out what version of WMP they're running and the location...

PercentCorrect is a system variable that actually uses the system variables TotalWrong and TotalCorrect. If you do: Initialize(TotalCorrect) Initialize(TotalWrong) wherever you want it to reset, it should behave the way you'd expect. Obviously you may want to save the current value before...
