1. Greeting Cards

Happy Mothers Day - make a "Happy Mother's Day" greeting card program (or Happy Halloween, Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, Happy Birthday cards... depending on the season)

(see file "HappyMDay" at bottom of page)

1. Start with a new 'Mainstack"

2. On the first card add the following:

import a photo for the background

add a label field - for the greeting

add a button for the next page

Edit the label field - in the "contents" write your greeting. change the properties to make it look like you want it to.

On the button, put the following code:

on mouseUp
visual effect wipe up
go to next
end mouseUp

to go to the next card (with visual effects)

3. Add a new card

Add a background picture, a label field (for the message) and maybe a button to go back to the first page.

on the button put:

on mouseUp
visual effect wipe up
go to prev
end mouseUp

to go to the previous card (with visual effects)

Another way is to name the cards and use the names in the go to's. If you name the cards "home" and "card 2", you could do it this way:

On the first card ("Home") you would put the code:

on mouseUp
visual effect wipe up
go to card "card 2"
end mouseUp

to go to the next card which you named "card 2" (with visual effects)

On that card, to go back to the "home" card, the code would be

on mouseUp
visual effect wipe up
go to card "Home"
end mouseUp

to go back to the "Home" card
