 |
Aquatica 1
|
Collection |
1.0 |
This is the first collection of 7 externals from the Aquatica Collections. This set provides utility functions to manage C code, Base64 encode and decode, a multithreaded event monitor(WaitForKey), and an easy mechanism for obtaining the current application's icon, in OSX.
|
| |
|
HTTP
|
Xrtn |
1.2 |
This version of the http external finishes the move to BSD Sockets,
patches up a few memory issues, and clears the way for the download
queue feature, which should make it into the next release.
|
| |
|
Stuff
|
Xrtn |
1.0 |
Stuff is an entirely RAM-based database-like thing I designed
for my game servers and Rich Internet Application clients. This
lets you keep track of up to 50 simultaneous groups of users or
people or things, or whatever, and batch process data for them.
It is wicked fast, and features over 30 different options.
|
| |
|
SetWindowAlpha |
Xfcn |
1.0 |
SetWindowAlpha lets you set the transparency level of any window
of your project, quickly and easily. This feature will work on
any Mac running OSX Jaguar or Panther. |
| |
|
ConvertPath |
Xfcn |
1.0 |
Ever wonder how you track down a file, given its Unix-style path
name? Wonder no more! This external gives you the ability to pass
in any url for any existing object, and you'll get the Macintosh-style
path back. |
| |
|
CurrentVoice |
Xfcn |
1.5 |
This external returns information about the user's currently
selected voice. New in this version are info fields that describe
the returned results, translated information for Language and
Gender, and other minor addition. I left the first line, the name
of the current voice, alone, so if you're using an older version
and just using the top line of the results, this won't break anything.
|
| |
|
CaffeineX |
Xfcn |
1.0 |
Caffeine is a simple external that tells the OS not to go to
sleep. This is very useful if you're performing lengthy calculations
or doing something that might take some time. I have also included
a brief example of how to make a simple animation in SC.
|
| |
|
LineMatchX |
Xfcn |
1.0 |
This is a variation on the LineOffset command that will give
you the number of the first line in a list that exactly matches
the entire search string. Unlike LineOffset, this uses a complete
match algorithm. Yeah, I know you can do this in LineOffset with
a slight modification, but this external won't require that you
remember to make that modification. |
| |
|
FinderRefreshX |
Xfcn |
1.0 |
FinderRefresh will tell the Finder to refresh a window or folder
containing a file, so that it will show changes immediately. Ever
click on a file on the desktop, only to have that file move suddenly
out from under your mouse? Well, they didn't use FinderRefresh!
|
| |
| |
KillShadowX |
Xfcn |
1.01 |
KillShadow will remove the shadows from behind the window of
your choosing under OSX, Jaguar, and Panther. This version fixes
a longstanding bug in the parameters and should cause less window
flickering under Panther, when compared with its predecessor.
|
| |
|
FlashKeyX |
Xfcn |
1.0 |
FlashKey allows you to get and set whether or not keystrokes
are passed to Flash apps, on a per app basis, if you've embedded
them in SuperCard using SuperCard's QuickTime media controls.
This link decompresses into a folder containing one Flash file
and one example SuperCard project. |
| |
|
DataToHex |
Xfcn |
1.0 |
DataToHex converts binary or other data into hexadecimal notation.
You're probably wondering why you'd need such a thing...
|
| |
|
HexToData |
Xfcn |
1.0 |
HexToData converts hexadecimal notation data back into binary
or other data. You're probably still wondering why you'd need
such a thing... |
| |
|
KeyIsDownX |
Xfcn |
2.1 |
KeyIsDown tells you if a key is down on the keyboard, and if
so, just what that key is. Optionally, it can tell you if a particular
key is down or not. |
| |
| |
SharpenX |
Xfcn |
1.0 |
This external sharpens an image, using the seldomly used 'passthrough'
feature of SuperCard, allowing us to alter the image and return
the altered image, and still return result codes. |
| |
|
WindowPtrX |
Xfcn |
1.0 |
This external returns the WindowPointer for a SuperCard window
you specify. This is not too useful alone, but it does open the
door for other externals that might not have access to the Internals
Toolbox. |
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
VideoInX
|
Xrtn |
2.0 |
This external lets you interact with any digital image input
device, such as an iSight camera, quickly and effortlessly. In
addition, you can save images, create quicktime movies, and get
and set hardware settings on the device without bothering with
the giant configuration popup dialog box. |

track of your choosing in an audio file played back by SuperCard's
QuickTime tools. |

Gestalt
|
Xfcn |
1.0 |
The MacOS maintains an internal version database for installed
software that might be of interest to the user. In addition, it
populates this database with information about the machine it's
running on as well. This external gives you direct access to that
information. |

PixelColorX

PixelColor returns the numeric color of any point on the screen,
even if SuperCard is in the background. Simply pass it any x,y
coordinates in the first parameter, and it will return the SuperCard
compatible color that is closest, or an RGB value for the precise
color. |

AskColorX
|
Xfcn |
1.0 |

color, an RGB value, or a web encoded RGB color . |

ActiveProcessX
|
Xfcn |
1.1 |
ActiveProcess lets you get and set the currently active process.
This is really handy when you need to switch to another app, such
as the Finder, then switch back after some period of time. It
can also be used to guarantee that your app is in the foreground.
