SuperCard perhaps? IIRC it was the only xTalk at the time (until Sybase Gain Momentum came out later for Unix, followed by MetaCard and others) that provided scriptable vector graphics.
I believe all versions of HyperCard only natively supported bitmaps, and only two per card, one at the background level and one on the card.
