Re: Hypercard message?

It sounds like there is a function within the script of the stack you are
using called "GetPaths"--or that there ought to be.

For example, if I had a button with the following script:

on mouseup
  getPaths
end mouseup

Then when someone clicked on the button, HyperCard would try to execute
the function getPaths. If for some reason it was no longer available (a
card or background with it had been deleted, someone had changed the name,
etc.) then you would get an error message. It can't understand it because
it is not part of the HyperTalk command set, and hasn't been defined
within the stack as a "user" function. It could also be that GetPaths is
an XCMD or XFCN that is supposed to be in the stack but either was never
installed or has become corrupted.

Which stack are you using?
