just wondering if anyone knows why HyperCard's visual effects (transition effects from one page to the next) don't work in SheepShaver? My guess is they use some low-level tricks or at least assembly language to achieve decent performance, and that somehow passes by whatever SheepShaver uses to detect if the display changed?
ISTR the visual effects working (but being very slow) on Windows, and just being missing on MacOS X.
If you're curious, to reproduce it, get HyperCard 2.4, choose "File" > "New Stack", save the stack somewhere on your hard disk, choose "Objects" > "New Button", then double-click the button, click "Script" and type in
Code: Select all
on mouseUp
visual effect dissolve to black
visual effect dissolve
go this card
end mouseUp
