Re: How to place a transparent PNG image over card image?

Klaus, I am referring to runtime, not author mode. I'm looking for the code, not condescension. It should be obvious from my initial question that I am referring to runtime. Of course it's possible to place image over image in author mode. But it is not obvious on how to do that with code at runtime...

How to place a transparent PNG image over card image?

All, I have a substack of cards, 1024, x 570. It's labeled SubStackCards. I have a second substack of cards filled with frames (transparent backgrounds), called SubStackFrames. The frames were built in PSD and exported as transparent PNGs. I'm trying to place a card frame from the substackFrames ove...

Re: Upload a field using ftp?

Full code:

on opencard — the card where the field dummyfile resides
ftp://host/user:pass@host/dummyfile.html
end opencard

No error checking. I deleted it to see if that was an issue.

Upload a field using ftp?

I would like to upload a field in my stack. The field is composed of html. I’m using LC 9.0.1 Community version.
I’ve tried everything in the manual and all I get is “error.” Obviously, I’m writing garbage syntax. What is the proper way to ftp an html field to my server?
TIA,
John

Lists as in []

In Director 12, where I’m coming from, there is a construct called “lists,” and used to store data like so: [“A”, “B”, “C”] etc. To get at the data, one uses syntax like listName.getAt[1], etc. Is there such a thing in LC 9? If so, what is it called?
TIA

Having trouble with http & ftp

Newbie, coming from Director 12 to LC9. Some of the constructs are very similar, some are not. For example, http & ftp are quite different. I’m using the following code in LC9 and nothing happens: (dummy url) set the text of field “capture” to URL “(url)/test.txt” I have a field named “capture.” So ...
