HyperCard Tip: Linking Buttons to Stacks
This note explains the process to create a link from a button to a stack.
If this is to be a new button, create it by choosing the New Button
command from the Objects menu.
- Open the Button Info dialog window.
With the Button tool selected (see the Tools menu),
select (click on) the button for which you wish to establish a link,
then choose Button Info from the Objects menu
(or... just double click on the button).
- Select the Tasks... button at the bottom of the Button Info
dialog window.
- Highlight the "Go to Destination" icon on the left portion of
the Tasks dialog window.
- Select the Current Stack radio button.
- Drag the Tasks dialog window to a corner of the screen.
You are about to change windows and you will want to be able to
find this window to return to it.
- Open the stack to which you are linking.
This can be done via the Open Stack... command under the File menu.
- Return the Tasks dialog window to the foreground by clicking on it.
(Aren't you glad you moved it so that it wasn't completely covered
by your destination stack?)
- Select the Assign Tasks button at the bottom of the
Tasks dialog window.
Now, select the browsing tool and test your button!
