SuperCard downloadable examples

With something as complex and broad-ranging as SuperCard it is always good to have examples you can tear apart to find out how things work.

Each of these projects was designed to show a specific feature of SuperCard. They are generally well commented, so grab them, run them, rip them apart in SuperCard, and have fun!

Basic AppleScript Demo

A simple example of using AppleScript from within SuperCard. This demonstrates compiling and running a script resource, and 'doing' scripts directly from a field.

By Jingo!
Home page for the Julian Bingo game. This demonstrates downloading directory listings and text files from the Internet and using them in a project. The complete standalone application and an editable project are available from the By Jingo! page.

Downloader project (REQUIRES Mac OS 8, 9 or CLASSIC!)
Size: 5K
This project uses an internal AppleScript, modified on the fly, to download a graphic and a text file from the Internet and show them in the project. This uses URL Access Scripting, and so requires Mac OS 8.5 or 9.x, although it also works in Classic under OS X.
